crawlod in bcsido him. In the morning tlicv crawled out und told him 

 to stick out his foot again. Tiiov lickod thoni again and then .said to 

 him, "Now we ha\o done all wo can do this time. Go on until you 

 come to the place where you made a l>ark shelter a long time ago, and 

 under the bark you will find something to help you." Ganogwioeon 

 crawled out of the log, hut they were gone. His feet were better 

 now and he could walk comfortably. He went on until about noon, 

 when he came to the bark shelter, and under it he found a knif(>, an 

 awl, and a flint, that his men had hidden there two years before. He 

 took them and started on again. 



Toward evening he looked around until he found aiiother hollow 

 tree and crawled into it to sleep. At night he heard the footsteps and 

 voices again. When he put out his feet again, as the strangers told 

 him to do, they licked his feet as before and then crawled in and laj' 

 down on each side of him to keep him warm. Still he could not .see 

 them. In the morning after they went out they licked his feet again 

 and said to him. "At noon you will find food." Then they went 

 away. 



Ganogwioeon crawled out of the tree and went on. At noon he 

 came to a burning log, and near it was a dead bear, which was still 

 warm, as if it had been killed only a short time before. He skinned 

 the bear and found it very fat. He cut up the meat and i-oasted as 

 much as he could eat or carry. While it was roasting he scraped the 

 skin and rubbed rotten wood dust on it to clean it until he was tired. 

 When night came he lay down to sleep. He heard the steps and the 

 voices again and otie said, " Well, our friend is lying down. Ho has 

 plenty to eat, and it does not .seem as if he is going to die. Let us lick 

 his feet again." When they had finished they said to him. "You need 

 not woriy any more now. You will get home all right." Hofore it 

 was day they left him. 



When morning came he put the t)earskin around him like a shirt, 

 with the hair outside, and started on again, taking as much of the 

 meat as he could carry. That night his friends came to him again. 

 Thev said, "Your foot are well, but vou will 1)e cold." so they lay 

 again on each side of him. Before daylight they left, saying. "About 

 noon you will find something to wear." Ho went on and about midday 

 he came to two young bears just killed. Ho skinned them and dressed 

 the skins, then roasted as much meat as he wanted and lay down to 

 slo(>p. In the morning he made loggings of the skins, took some of 

 the meat, and started on. 



His friends came again the next night and told him thai in the morn- 

 ing ho would come upon something else to wear. As they said, about 

 noon he found two fawns just killed. He turned the skins and made 

 himself a pair of moccasins. tho!i cut some of the meat, and traveled 

 on until evening, when lie made a lire and had supper.
