BoAS] KATHLAMET TEXTS 939 
He said to his companions: ‘* Behold, the lake is shallow.” Some- 
times he found warm water and sometimes cold water. When he 
came to the middle of the lake, it changed all of a sudden. Noise 
was heard under water. It began to boil; waves arose on the lake, 
and that person went down. He came up again crying ‘* Eh,” and 
clapping his mouth. He came up five times. Then his cries ceased. 
He ceased to clap his mouth. Then he was heard under water in that 
lake. Noise was heard from below. Then the warriors said: ** Let vs 
go home. This land is monstrous; it helps the people. Two of our 
companions are dead.” Now that person remained in the lake. 
When it gets foggy, he is heard in the lake. Not very long ago he 
was seen swimming. People were digging up a beaver dam, and there 
he was seen coming out of it. He is heard when it becomes windy.
