said, * You mean, bad fellow, you have deceived me,” and so he reviled him. Unktomi 
answered, “ Go away, you will see the Great Mosquito.” Again he reviled him. ‘ Go,” 
said Uyktomi, ‘you will see the Gray Bear.” He repeated it, and Unktomi said, ‘‘ Go 
away, you will see the Arm-awls.” Again he cursed him, and the answer was, “ Go, 
you will see His-many-dogs.” Then for the last time he reviled Unktomi, who said, 
“Go, you will see the Two Women,” and then he came home. 
Then the young man also departed, and when he heard something above come 
whizzing along, the Great Mosquito fell into the water, and he threw himself under it. 
But, lo! something like a brown crane came and stood and said, ‘That thing that was 
moving about here as I was coming has gone somewhere. Indeed, if it were here I 
would do so to it,” and he struck the mosquito with his bill. But as the bill stuck in, 
he (that is, the young man) in turn killed the erane, cut his bill off, and carried it 
along. Again the young man heard something, and the Gray Bear came crying out 
against him. But the young man changed himself into a dead fish and lay on the 
water. Then said the Gray Bear, ‘‘ What was here moving about when I was coming 
has gone.” The Gray Bear came, and saying, “ I will eat whatever is yonder,” he took 
the fish in his mouth. But, as it was flat, he turned it from one side of his jaws to 
the other, and finally swallowed it whole. 
But in the belly of the bear the young man resumed his shape, took his knife, 
and cut the bear’s heart to pieces, and so killed him. Then he cut a hole in the side 
and came out, and having cut off the two fore paws he took them along. 
As he went along in the path there stood a bark lodge, from which smoke issued. 
He immediately thought, ‘* These are what he called the Arm-awls,” and so he wrapped 
his blanket up into a bundle, and placing it under his arm he went into the lodge and 
sat down in the back part, saying, ‘‘ Lo! my grandmother, I would come into the 
house.” Now, there were two old women sitting, one on either side, and making a 
disturbance about something at the door. Then, rising to his feet, he said, ‘“Grand- 
mother, I have come into the house, but you are not pleased; I will go out again.” 
And as he said this he made pretense of going out, but threw his bundle at the door. 
Aud they with their elbows both pierced it, but, as if was only a blanket, they thrust 
through further than they had intended and stabbed each other. ‘ My cousin, you 
have killed ine,” they both said. But he said, * Did such as you think you would kill 
me?” and at once he killed them both and went on. 
Then he heard some one ahead saying aloud as he came, ‘Come, come, my 
dogs.” And while he came on calling his dogs, the young man made his nose bleed 
and besmeared all his arrows with blood and spread them out in the path and lay 
down on his back. Then there came a lion and a great lynx and licked them. But 
the owner of the beasts said, ‘‘ Let him alone, and go along, this is a poor child.” So 
they passed on. Then the man came and said this: “Ah! my grandchild, you are 
the one that they say was left on the unvisited island. Go on, there are two of my 
dogs coming behind, those you may kill and eat.” This was the one called His-many- 
dogs, because they say he has all things that move upon the earth for his dogs. 
Then the young man rose and went on. And two raccoons came along, talking 
to each other. He killed them and carried them with him. Then he came to a bark- 
lodge which was standing in the path, and, laying down both the raccoons outside, 
he went in. There were two old women, one on either side of the house, and he sat 
down in the back part of the tent. Then they said: “Grandchild, are you the one
