found himsolt" in its holly. Then he spit medicine upon himself iind 

 stretched out in its belly- He burst it. The mother of outbursts of 

 human ])ones took place. Then he put the l)ones togi^ther, and part 

 were missing". And he repaired them with any common material. Then 

 he repaired their eyes in the same way and spit medicine upon them. 

 At once all went away. And he said: " When 3'ou get home, walk 

 about there.'' 



Then he dragged [the deviltish] along" with the devilfish stick and 

 threw it inside the door. When he came in and sat down, NAnki'lsLas 

 looked at him. As he was looking at him, Supernatural-being-who- 

 went-naked said: "Now, grandfather, look about upon your town." 



Now he took his cane and went out with it. He looked to the right. 

 To his great surprise something wonderful had happened. People 

 decorated with feathers and having their faces painted walked about in 

 rows. Then he also looked to the left. There things were in the 

 same condition. Then he entered. 



When he came in he brought out a urinal. And he threw some 

 white, hard I'ock from a box on which his head rested into the fire. 

 After he had looked at it a while, and it had become red-hot, he put 

 it into the urinal. Then he put the end of a sharp-pointed thing", half 

 blue, half red,^^ into this and held part of the clothing he wore over 

 his nose. 



Then he called for him. '"This way, my son; come and sit near 

 me." Then he went to him, and he pressed on his nose with the stick 

 and pressed it down. Now he took off the sea-))ass, bullhead, and 

 tomcod spines from him. After he had finished doing" it he fixed him 

 up. Then he brought out a coml) and combed him from the top of 

 his head. And he looked down. Lo! land-otter fur was piled up 

 below. He did the same thing on the other side of him. NAfiki'lsLas 

 pressed something" upon his nose with his fingers because Supernatural- 

 being-who-went-naked had the ga'gix.It smell. 



Then he com})ed his hair. He made it long, and he made two knots 

 of hair at his neck. He fastened them with a ribbon. He fixed him up 

 with the blue part [of his stick]. After he had ])een at it for a while 

 he poured water into awash basin he owned and said to Supernatural- 

 being-who-went-naked: "Now, grandson, look at yourself." ^"^ 



Then he looked at himself. He had put on [a painting" of J red mot- 

 tled [clouds] spotted with black, such as lie out on the sea.'~* He 

 looked at it and said "This is bad." Then he wiped it ofi' and put it 

 into his armpit. And, after he had put paint upon him for a while, 

 he looked at himself again. He had put on his face a red, striped 

 [cloud], such as lie toward the north, '•^^ And he did not like that. 

 Now he put more paint on him. He put broad stripes upon his face, 

 like those on the breast of a mallard. But he said that was good. He 

 fixed him up, because he had restored his town to life. And he gave 

 him two skv blankets.
