Blue-jay defecated, at the place where his town was situated. Now 
the Crab sang: ** My sister and I eat what is swimming in the sea.” 
The people were hungry. It was winter. They made themselves 
ready and went aboard one canoe. The Seal went and met her 
younger sister. She was on top of a tree. ‘*Come down,” she said. 
Then the Crab came down. The Seal struck her and they went home. 
When they came home the Seal said to her younger sister: ‘* Hide 
yourself.” The Seal hid in a cache. The Crab hid, but her face was 
visible behind the plank which stood near the fire. Now the people 
landed and went up to the house. They looked for the Seal, but they 
found only the Crab. They struck her in the nape. Then a salmon 
heart fell out of her mouth. They struck her again; then another 
salmon heart fell out of her mouth. They struck her again and a 
salmon liver fell out of her mouth. They struck h2r again and 
again, but she vomited only two hearts and one liver. They tried to
