SECTION 98 



" Now again they told him that they would take up their journey 

 and as they went they drew near to the house of the punisher. As 

 they went over the broad road they walked well on the sides for the 

 path was very stony. Now, strange, this was true ; some great force 

 seemed pushing them onward toward the house of the punisher.^ 

 Soon they began to inhale heated air and soon they heard the far 

 away echoes of mournful cries borne on the blasts of the hot wind. 

 At times the air was suffocating and the cries of the doomed were 

 distressing." 



So he said. Eniaiehuk. 



SECTION 99 



" Now they approached a great lodge. It seemed constructed of 

 iron that had been highly heated and allowed to cool. Within the 

 building hot vapor was rising from the fire pits. 



" Now the messengers spoke saying, * Let us tarry here a while.' 

 Then one of the beings took from his bosom a crystal and pointed it 

 at the lodge. He approached holding the glass at arm's length and 

 as he came near the lodge arose to the height of the man so power- 

 ful was the crystal." Eniaiehuk. 



SECTION 100 



" Now they saw and then everyone knew that the house was very 

 long and extended far out of the eye's reach. Now this is true. 

 When a certain woman within saw the four and him drawing near 

 she stretched out her arms and cried for help. Then answered the 

 four, ' It is beyond our power to alter your condition now. Our 

 work was with you on earth. Too late.' " 



So they said and he said. Eniaiehuk. 



SECTION 1 01 



'' Now as they looked they saw a being walking about as if he 

 were the master of the lodge. He seemed continually distorting 

 himself. At times horns shot out from his forehead, at times a 

 cloven foot appeared and at times a tail was visible.^ 



1 The prophet here alludes to the ease with which one may glide over the 

 broad road. " It is no work to sin," says the preacher, " for the devil 

 furnishes the legs for you." 



2 The prophet has very evidently borrowed his devil from transatlantic 

 sources.
