 and drank, and drank, nntil he had enough. Then the sahnon's son 

 shot him and he fell right where he stood. They hauled out the body 

 and hid it. 



And one more went out to hunt [etc., as before]. He found a little 

 water. He looked, and looked, and looked. He intended to go down, 

 but looked again. He went around the well once. Then he jumped 

 down into it. He drank a little and looked again. Then he drank 

 again. He drank, and drank, and drank, until he had enough. Then 

 the salmon's son shot him. He fell down right where he stood. They 

 hauled out the body and hid it. 



And still another went out to hunt [etc., as before]. A little water 

 was in the well. He looked, and looked, and looked. He observed 

 something suspicious, but decided to go down. He went around the 

 well many times, and waited a long time; then he went down. He

 him and he fell. They hauled him out and hid him.
