He went into the interior and lived with two giants successively. He 

 told the second giant how he might kill Wolverine-man by pretending 

 that he had been caught in Wolverine-man's trap. After Wolverine- 

 man had carried him home Raven continued to instruct the giant, and 

 helped him burn Wolverine-man's body, which turned into mosquitoes 

 and gnats. 



Coming to another place, Raven found a woman and her daughter 

 living alone, and he told the latter how to make fire with the fire 

 drill, and then told her to eat some of the powder that comes from 

 it. She gave birth to a bo}' , who was called Fire-drilFs-son. When 

 he grew up his father, Fire-drill, gave him a dog, a bow and arrows, 

 and a club, with which he killed Man-with-one-eye, a shaman who 

 had destro^'ed the people of his village. Then he came to the wife of 

 this man, who killed people b}^ throwing her hand, which had a knife 

 fastened to it, at them, and he destroyed her also. Starting inland, 

 he came to Old-mole-woman, who fed him with food taken from 

 between her teeth, and told him where the hawk lived that had car- 

 ried away his people. When he reached the place he made the young 

 birds tell him about their father and mother, who came in clouds, and 

 killed them, after which he got ground hogs for the young ones and 

 told them not to eat human beings any more. After tliat he left 

 enough food with his mother and grandmother to last them all their 

 lives, and went away from them. Pursuing something called Dry- 

 cloud, he came among the mink and the marten people successively, but 

 did not stop until he reached the wolf people. These became jealous 

 of him and tried to destroy him by getting him to jump through a 

 hoop which cut a person in two if he failed. His dog, however, 

 seized it and threw it up to the moon, where it became the ring that 

 indicates change of weather. Now the man and his friend among the 

 wolves kept on after Dry-cloud and came to an old woman who told 

 them that there was a monster fish near by. On looking at it, they 

 found only a red cod, which Fire-drilFs-son killed. He skinned it and 

 dried the skin. After that he married Daughter-of-the-calm, and the}' 

 had a son named LAkitcine', and this man married a woman who had 

 a litter of puppies by the dog. Afterward she found that they were 

 able to take off their dog skins and appear in human form, so she sur- 

 prised them, gathered together the skins, and burnt them. When 

 LAkitcine' saw these children he began to maltreat his wife, and her 

 children jumped upon him and killed him. Then they went through 

 Alaska, killing off' harmful monsters. One of these, which was like 

 an eagle, used to forewarn other animals, until they made him prom- 

 ise not to do so. [Here follows the adventure with the one-legged 

 man told in story 3.] Afterward Lqlaya'k! chased Dry-cloud across 

 the sky and made the Milk}^ Way. Coming to a very cold region in 

 the sky, he wanted to get down, but the clouds prevented until his
