was SO determined, however, that lie finahy went out and was killed. 

 Then the other brothers and the dog fell upon this man. After they 

 had set their dog on him, they killed him. They took his bear-skin 

 shirt off and ))urned his body. Lq iaya'k ! had been torn all to pieces, 

 but KAcklA'Lk! put the pieces together, acted around him like a 

 shaman, and brought him back to life. 



Then Lq!aya'k! went along up to the head of that stream dressed 

 in One-legged-man's shirt and acting like him. Wlien he got there 

 he found tlie largest two bears that ever lived. These were the wife 

 and father-in-law of the man they had killed. Lqlaya'k! threw down 

 one salmon before the woman and another very bright one before her 

 father just as One-legged-man had been in the habit of doing. The 

 woman found out right away that Lq!aya'k! was not her husband, but 

 she made love to him and he took her as his wife. His father-in-law 

 also thought a great deal of him. Every morning Lqiaya'k! would 

 go off down stream after salmon just as One-legged-man had done. 

 On these expeditions he was always accompanied by his dog, which 

 kept chewing on something continually. He was really chewing 

 those wild peoples' minds away to make them tame so that they 

 would not hurt Lq!aya'k!'s brothers. His brothers all came to him. 



After that they began ])ursuing Dry-cloud like Fire-drill's son. 

 Like him they chased it from one kind of animal to another. They 

 chased it for months and months until they had followed it far up into 

 the sky where you can see the tracks of Lq!aya'k! to this very day 

 (the milky way). Finally they reached a very cold region in the sky 

 and wanted to get back, but the clouds gathered so thickly about 

 them that they could not pass through. KacIv Ia'lIv !, therefore, called 

 his spirits to open a passage. After they had done so his brothers fell 

 through and were smashed to pieces on the earth. KAcklA'i.k!, how- 

 ever, had his spirits make him enter a ptarmigan (q!es!awa'), and 

 reached the earth in safety. Then he shook his rattle over his 

 brothers and bi-ought them to life. 



Before they ascended into the sky the lu-others had killed all of 

 the monsters on Prince of Wales island and elsewhere in Alaska 

 except one at Wrangell called IvAxqoye/nduA. Wlien they heard 

 about this one, they went to He-who-kno ws-e very tiling- that-happens 

 (Liu'wAt-uwadjI'gi-canA'k") and said to him, "Grandfather, we want 

 your canoe. Will you lend it to us?" Its name was Arrow-canoe 

 (Tcu'net-yfdv"). Then the old man said, "What do you want the 

 canoe for, grandchildren?" So they told him, and he said, "There 

 is a very batl thing living there. No one can get to him. Several 

 different kinds of spirits are to be met before you reach him. They 

 are very dangerous." Then he gave them directions, saying, "Wlien 

 the monster is sleeping, he has his eyes open, but when he is awake he 

 has his eyes closed, and he is then watching everything. When you
