(noise of surf) will be thy name; only wlieu the storm is raging you 

 will be heard. When the weather is very bad your liat will also be 

 heard." 



Now the Thunderer and his daughter went home. They lived there 

 for some time. The young man did not like his wife. After several 

 days she arose early and went to bathe. When she tried to touch her 

 husband he rolled his blanket about himself. They had each a sepa- 

 rate blanket. After several days he rose, then he saw that she had 

 become a beautiful woman. Now they continued to live there. It grew 

 dark. Now when he tried to touch her she rolled her blanket around 

 herself. She took revenge on him. But after awhile they began to 

 like each other. 



The Thunderer used to go whaling every day, and the young man 

 said: " I shall look on when my father-in-law goes whaling." "No, no; 

 nobody ever looks at him when he goes whaling." He got angry and 

 said: "I must see him." Now after awhile he looked at him. Soon he 

 saw a whale which went into the dipnet which the Thunderer held. 

 The latter lifted it, but the whale jumped over the rim of the net. The 

 Thunderer looked toward the land, and at once there was thunder, 

 lightning, and hail. Another whale entered his dipnet and he lifted it, 

 but when he did so the whale jumped out of the net. Then the Thun- 

 derer got angry, and it began to hail and to storm. He went home and 

 threw down his dipnet. Then his son-in-law left the house, took some 

 coal, and went to a rock. He blackened his forehead and soon a south- 

 west wind arose which blew away the old man's house. He tried to 

 fasten the boards to the roof, but was unable to do so. Then the Thun- 

 derer said to his daughter: "Oh, child, go and look for your husband. 

 Tell him to-morrow he may look at*me when I go whaling." His daugh- 

 ter went and found her husband. She said : " Oh you destroyed your 

 father-in-law's house. He says to-morrow you may look at him when 

 he catches whales." Then the young man took some water and washed 

 his face. It became calm. He went home with his wife and helped 

 the old man fasten the boards to the roof. He said to his father-in-law: 

 "To-morrow I shall go down to the beach and you shall see me catch- 

 ing whales." On the following morning thej^ went down to the beacli 

 together. After a little while a whale entered the dipnet. The young 

 man lifted it and threw the whale ashore. Then the Thunderer said: 

 "Hohoo, my son-in-law, you are just as I was when I was a young- 

 man." 



Now the Thunderer's daughter became pregnant. After awhile she 

 gave birth to two children. Then the old man said to his son-in-law: 

 " Quick, quick, go and catch tw^ wolves; I used to play with them when 

 I was young." He went to the woods and caught two wolves which he 

 carried to his father-in-law's house. He threw them down at his father- 

 in-law's feet and they bit him all over and hauled him about. He cried : 

 "Oh they have forgotten me; quick, quick, carry them back." The
