youth said: **Did not I tell you that tail pieces were given to slaves 
only? Our youngest brother became ashamed. He has turned into a 
supernatural being. You see these birds? They have become his 
people.” The birds all went out to sea. Then they entered the house. 
It was full of feathers. Their youngest brother had disappeared. He 
had gone out to sea, and had become a supernatural being. Then one 
of the elder brothers said: ‘*Oh, our youngest brother! When an 
Indian finds him, he will give him whale meat.” Then they burned 
their house. When the house was burned, one of them said: ** When 
later generations wish to see supernatural beings, they shall sweep 
our house and they will find our coals.” Then they cried and went 
far away. They left him.’

1JIt is said that when a person who desires to finda supernatural helper weeds the place at Nagio’na 
called ‘‘The House of the Brothers,’ and then sweeps it, he may find coals. This isa sign that the 
lost brother will become a helper. If he does not find coals, his endeavor to obtain the supernatural 
helper will be fruitless.
