8 what is referred to by the Indians as ‘‘calm’’— | then the mother 
of twins turns her face | to the north, if they are going south; and 
10 she raises her || right hand, and she turns her hands around toward 
the | south; and she says, “I call you, Northwest-Wind!” | She 
does so four times. Then she says, “Paddle away from the | north- 
west wind!” And the man also does the same. | 
15 When it is foggy, the mother of twins takes her hat || and lifts it, 
and she holds it in her right hand, and | she does thus: she brings 
it down flat to her stomach. | She does so four times as she calls the 
fog to | get all inside her stomach; and when a man, a father of 
twins goes hunting | and it is foggy, then he takes his hat and || 
20 draws it four times through the fog, and puts it down behind | the 
place where he is sitting in the bow of the canoe. Then | all the fog 
is inside the hat; and when the hunter has no | hat, he catches the 
fog in his blanket | and hides it in his stomach. Four times he || 
25 does so; and four times also the woman, the mother of twins, | does 
so with her blanket. When she goes clam-digging, | then she also 
takes her blanket and with it catches the fog. | Four times she 
catches it in her blanket. Some | Indians say that the fog is all 
30 gone into the || womb of the mother of twins. |
