after one. He went along the .shore. He kept chopping into things 

 to lind the hard part of the tree. Then he saw a woman digging far 

 down on the beach. She had a child on her back. He said, "Some 

 one might think I was fooling with her.'"' When he came up close to 

 her, he saw that she was not a woman such as he had been in the habit 

 of seeing. It was the Lle'nAxxI'dAq that he saw. The umssol shells 

 that she threw up always fitted together. 



Then he went out after her to the place where she was digging. 

 Without thinking of an^'thing else he ran to her and caught her. 

 His hands passed right through her body. He chased her and seized 

 her again. Again his hands passed through her. When he got close 

 up to the trees he remembered his earrings. He threw them away. 

 Afterward he chased her once more. He seized the child on her ))ack, 

 and she immediately began to cry out. She scratched him in the face. 

 She made great marks upon him. When he caught her he said within 

 himself, *' May I be a rich man. Ma}' all the children that come after
