When the warriors rushed down upon them they soon destroyed his 

 canoe men, but the shaman himself flew away by means of his spirits. 

 Even now people say that a shaman can fly about. After he had flown 

 about a certain town for some time the people told a menstruant 

 woman to look at him. She did so, and he fell into a small lake. 

 Then he swam under a rock, sticking up in it, leaving his buttocks 

 protruding-. To the present time this lake is red. It is his blood. 



The sister and aunt of this sliaman were enslaved, and the warriors 

 also carried away his spirit l)ox. Before they had gotten very far oft', 

 however, they stopped, untied the box, and began to handle the 

 things in it. They took out all of the spirits (i.e.. masks, whistles, etc.), 

 and asked his sister [regarding one of them], ''What is its name?" 

 This was the chief spirit, and had a long switch of hair. ''The spirit 

 is named Hanging-down spirit," said she. Then the warrior in the 

 bow put it on saying, "Let me be named Hanging-down spirit."
