After they had »;one along for a while they came to a village where 

 a drum was sounding. A shaman was perfoi'uiing there. The glow 

 [of the lire] shone out as far as the beach. Then they landed in front 

 of the place, bow lirst, and the bow man got off to look. When he got 

 near [the shaman said]: ''Now, the chief Supernatural-being-who- 

 keep.s-the-bow-off is going to get off."" He was made ashamed and 

 went directly back. 



And the next one got off' to look. When he got near [the shaman

 himself. There was a blue hole in him. He became ashamed and 

 went back. 



The next one also got off to look. When he got near he heard the 

 shaman say again: "Now the chief Supernatural-being-on-whom-the- 

 day light-rests is going to get off'." And he went back. 



Then the next one got off. He (the shaman) said, as before: '' Now 

 the chief 8upernatural-being-on-the-water-on-whom-is-sunshine is 

 going to get off." 



And another one got off to look. When he got near [he said]: "Now 

 the chief Supernatural-puflin-on-the-water* is going to get off." He 

 was also ashamed and went back. 



And another got off. He (the shaman) said to him: "Now the chief 

 Hawk-with-one-feather-sticking-out-of-the-water'* is going to get off." 

 He looked at the shaman from near. He had a costume like his own. 

 Then he also went back.

 "Now the chief Wearing-clouds-around-his-neck'^ is going to get off'." 

 And he, too, went back.

 the chief Supernatural-being- with-the-big-eyes is going to get off'."

 shaman said]: "Now the chief Supernatural-being-lying-on-his-back- 

 in-the-canoe is going to get off." 



Then he got on again, and the oldest got off to look. When he came 

 near [the shaman said]: "Now the chief who owns the canoe, Super- 

 natural-being-half -of -whose-words-are-raven, is going to get off." 



Then the eldest brother said: " Truly, we have become supernatural 

 beings. Now, brothers, arrange yourselves in the canoe." Then they 

 took on board some boys who were playing a})out the town. They 

 put them in a crack in the bottom of the canoe. And they pulled up 

 grass growing at one end of the town for nests. They arranged it 

 around themselves where the}' sat.
