 was to die. Thus thought the chief. But Ts'alf placed the rawing 

 of ice under his feet, and he moved it over the skin. A noise was 

 made by the breaking of the bear's hair. Ts'ak' sat down, and the 

 hair did not enter his anus. Now the chief was ashamed because 

 Ts'ak" was not dead. He said. "Walk to the middle of the house."' 

 Thus he spoke to his child. His daughter went down to the middle of 

 the house and sat down beside Ts'ak". He married her. Then they ate. 

 When Ts'ak' had finished eating, the chief said to his nephews, 

 " Make a large pyre and place stones on it." His nephews did so. 

 They built a large pyre of wood and placed stones on it. When the 

 stones were hot, the chief ordered a large 1)ox to be taken down to the
