after them the others. The sea-lions dive. When they come up again, 
the people make a noise by beating their canoes and crying: 
Ah, ha, he, he, he, he! The sea-lions dive again. When they emerge 
again, the hunters make noise by beating their canoes. Sometimes they 
do so often, sometimes only for a short while. Then the people say: 
‘“The water is being stirred up by them farther down the river.” 
Then they drive these sea-lions. They try to drive them toward a 
sandy island. The hunter says: ‘* Let us drive them to this island.” 
Sometimes the people are deceived and the sea-lions stay in the water. 
The water is not being stirred up down the river. Then the people wait 
on the water and drift in their canoes until they emerge. When the 
water is being stirred up down the river they follow them again. Then 
they make noise by beating their canoes near the sand island. Now the
