THE DELUGE AND REPEOPLING THE EARTH. 293 
Finally, the monster in the north said to his brothers: “My legs are 
giving out, and I will have to fall, and the direction in which I fall 
shall be called North’ (Itarakadara—North-Room). So there were 
three monsters left. Finally, another monster said to his brothers: 
“How are you getting along? My legs are giving out, and I shall have 
to fall.” He fell over towards the east, and when he fell there was a 
roaring toward the east, where the sun comes up, and the direction was 
called East (Naasakaskidi—Where-the-Sun-rises). There were now 
two monsters left. Finally, the third monster said to this brother: 
“My legs are giving out, and I shall have to fall; I can not stand longer ; 
I shall have to fall toward the South” (Idikuts—Changing-Weather). 
He fell right over. The fourth monster had no one to talk to, but he 
said that he was giving out and that he would have to fall, and the 
direction he should fall should be called West (Nesakisudi—W here-the- 
Sun-goes). 
After the monsters were destroyed the water began to go down. 
It wholly disappeared, so that the land could tbe seen, especially one high 
point. To this point the prophet and his wife were sent. Both were 
naked and they had nothing to eat, and they had nothing to live with. 
When the man and the woman were placed on the high point and 
the water had gone down, they noticed foam where the high points of

mountains the prophet thought he had better go down to the bottom 
and see how the land was, whether it had got dry or was still 
soft. When he got down to the foot of the mountain he noticed that 
the ground was getting harder, because the wind blew hard. A long 
time after this the prophet was told that the ground had dried up and 
they must go down from the mountain. As they went down he found 
a small cedar tree. He noticed some other small trees, like dogwood 
and evergreen trees. He also found remedies. He found soapweed 
and a tree with brown berries with black and yellow seeds. All of 
these things were for his use. The dogwood was for his arrows, the 
brown berry wood being for his bow. The soap weed was for bow- 
strings; the medicine was to use in case of sickness, as also was the 
cedar. The prophet was told that the things were coming out from the 
cane; that he need not go back there to get them; that he would see 
them go from one place to another. About this time the grass was 
coming up. All the animals that he had saved in the cane began to 
come around him. When the prophet came back his woman had gone 
to sleep. When they awoke the next morning they found beside them 
a stalk of corn that had already grown. A voice said to them that this 
was Mother-Corn; that they should use it again; that all the things they
