 a whaling excursion and were towing a large dead 

 whale to their village. 



In the bow of one of the boats stood a stout 

 young man who had harpooned the whale. He 

 looked at Kiviung keenly and Kiviung looked at 

 him. Then, of a sudden, they recognized each 

 other. It was Kiviung' s own son whom he had 

 left a small boy, but who was now become a 

 grown man and a great hunter. 



Kiviung' s wife was delighted to see him whom 

 she had supposed dead. At first she seemed glad 

 and then she seemed troubled. She had taken a 

 new husband, but after thinking it over she re- 

 turned to Kiviung, and they were very happy.
