clam-shells. | As soon as I found them, I took one of the || crabs and 
put it into (a clam-shell). Then I took the cedar-bark with which 
they had been hung up, | and tied it around, so that the shell should 
not open. | Then I did so also to the next one, and I did so to the 
four | shells. As soon as I had finished tying the four clam-shells, | I 
went and carried them into the woods. || I searched fora hole in the 
bottom of a tree; and when I found a hole | in the bottom of a 
hemlock-tree, I put three shells | into it. Then I spoke to the last 
one, | and said, ‘Warn your friends to call | strongly the northwest 
‘wind and the east wind, || else you will not go back to the beach, if 
you do not get | what has been planned for you and your friends.’ 
Thus I said when | I put it down in the hole on the ground. Then I 
left them, went back, and bathed in the sea. | As soon as I had 
finished, I sat down on the beach, that | the wind might dry me.’ 
Thus he said. ‘‘As soon as I || began to be dry, I dressed, and I 
warmed myself by the | camp-fire. Now I waited for the northwest 
wind to blow | at noon.’ Thus he said. | 
~ I questioned Ha‘miski‘nis again; and I said to him, | ‘‘Who, 
indeed, was the first to wish that this should be done to the crabs for | 
calling the northwest wind?”’ Thus I said to him. |
