Translation 

 From beneath me when it [seal] came up to breathe. 

 What is here, down here? A big bearded seal 

 At its small hole when it came up to breathe, 

 On my harpoon line when I held it fast, 

 On top here I kept sitting. 

 Down here he trod on it, 

 My person [me] he trod on it. 



My companion, when he had gone round behind me, 

 My person he trod on it. 

 To [alongside of ?] Arnauyuk telling me to go to the other 



side, 

 My companion when he had gone round behind me.
