of the man, he arises; and when the ring reaches the floor, | he steps 
out with his right foot. | Then the man turns to the right. He sits 
down again || on the mat. And he does this four times. Then he | 95 
stops. Then the time-beaters also stop beating time. Now | the 
shaman puts down his ring, and he feels of the top of the head of 
the | man. He does not do so for a long time when he speaks. Then 
the | shaman says, “Now you have been set right.” Thus he says. 
Then he takes each side of the || ring, and says, “Go on!’’ At once 200 
‘the time-beaters | beat fast time, and he goes around the fire in the 
middle of the house; | and when he comes back to the place where 
he started, he throws his ring | into the fire in the middle of the 
house. Now itisdone after this. And the man becomes well | after 
this. I just wanted to talk about this. |

places the soul of man goes; and he said, “There are many, | and 
these are the places to which the soul of man goes,—the sea-hunters’ 
place at sea,’ the hunters’ place in the woods,’ | the salmon coun- 
try,’ and the owl mask.* | 
These which I have named are the places to which the souls go. || 
But the ghost is not a soul, for it is only seen when | it gives notice 10
