101. QAQ!ATCGU'K« 



At Sitka were several brothers, the eldest of whom was named 

 QaqlAtcgTi'k. The}" were fond of hunting. One morning- they went 

 out among the islands. [QaqlAtcgu'k] killed nothing. Again he went 

 to the place where he had been in the habit of going. Then his name 

 was mentioned among the fur seals. "It is he who is always banting. 

 Keep quiet, for he might hear you."' Now when they were going 

 shoreward the eldest brother said, "Pull ahead quicklj^ for the wind 

 is beginning to l)low."" Then they became angry. The bow man laid 

 his paddle down in the canoe. All did the same. Then they began 

 to coyer their heads. The canoe, however, drifted out. It drifted 

 far out for six daj^s and nights. On the twelfth he awoke to find the 

 canoe drifting ashore. He saw an island on which were sea lions, 

 seals, fur seals, sea otters, and sea-lion bristles. All had drifted on
