YOUNG-BOY-CHIEF WHO -BECAME AN OTTER. 165 
off her clothing and left it. Then Young-Boy-Chief saw her flying 
over the lake, and they could hear her whistling like an eagle. 
The chief’s daughter had turned into an Eagle, and on their arrival 
at the water where the clothing was Young-Boy-Chief found that the 
garments had turned into grapevines. Here he stopped with the child 
and expected his wife to come back. Both cried again, but still he 
could see nothing of his wife. While all alone they both went to sleep 
for a while, and while they were sleeping the woman came back with 
another man whom she had already married, and they were both 
Eagles. While Young-Boy-Chief was sleeping the Eagles took the 
child away from him. He then awoke, but did not find his child. 
Young-Boy-Chief looked around for the child, but could not find him. 
He finally looked up, and there they were, three of them, flying over 
him. They kept sailing around over him, and finally the woman Eagle 
began to sing to him, saying: 
“Kit-e-he-ki-as-si-a-ka 
Kit-e-he-ki-as-si-a-ka 
Hos-ta-kes-o-ti-na-sé 
Wa-ka-na-kuk. 
“Kit-e-he-ki-as-si-a-ka 
Kit-e-he-ki-as-si-a-ka 
Ja-di-yak-o-ta-nas-é 
Wa-ka-sats-ka-dats. 
“Kit-e-he-ki-as-si-a-ka 
Kit-e-he-ki-as-si-a-ka 
Ki-tish-o-ti-lak 
Wa-ka-ka-ti-6s. 
“Kit-e-he-ki-as-si-a-ka 
Kit-e-he-ki-as-si-a-ka 
Ki-ki-a-di-kits-a-ho-ti-das 
Wa_-ka-as-sa-ki-ats 
Kit-e-he-ki-as-si-a-ka 
Kit-e-he-ki-as-si-a-ka.” 








[After a pause the same tune is sung in a lower key, and apparently to different words, as 
most of the sixteenth notes disappear. |
