came back. When it was day he (the shaman) said, ''Take mo down 

 there." He said, ""(xo around the point below here." He said to his 

 clothes-man, "Be l)ravo.''' Then he spit on the end of the spear. He 

 spoke to o-ot strength. AVhen he got up after speaking- and threw it 

 over the point he hit the land otter in the tail. Now the shaman sent 

 for it [and said], ''Take it round there." The land otter lay stiff. 

 The spear was stuck into the end of its tail. This is why even now the 

 people call that place Point-thrown-across. He put the shadow of his 

 paddle against an island below this. He was going to cut off the 

 tongue of the land otter upon it (the shadow). This is why they named 

 the island Divided-by-motion-of-paddle." He fasted eight days on the 

 island, when he cut otf the land-otter tongue. Afterward he came up, 

 and they were going to start home from that ])lace. He lived for 

 more than a hundred years. His spirits were of such strength that 

 he lived so long tiiat he could just turn about in one place.
