' This incantation was sung in earnest by an elder.y man on August 20, 1915, when a heavy gale accompanied by snow 

 confined us to our tenta for the day. A few minutes afterwards his aon distorted his face with a cord and, knife in hand,- 

 went out to defy the evil spirits that were responsible for the storm (see Vol. XII, Pt. A,, p. 187).
