 Gull did not reply. Therefore the Giant threw the Gull on his back 

 and stepped on his stomach. Then the greatCiull xoniited two olachens. 

 The Giant took them, and the Gull flew away. 



In the evening the Giant made a little canoe of elderberry wood. 

 Then he started to gamble. He went down the river and landed at 

 the beach in front of the house of a gi'eat chief. He took his gam- 

 bling sticks and went up. He entered, and many people were in the 

 house. They began to gamble. Now, before the Giant landed he had 

 rubbed the spawn of the olachen over the inside of his canoe and left 

 the tails under the stern sheet. Now he .sat down among the gamblers.
