No. 79. At the Building of a Boat. 
Kättuarajee. 
The formula which Kättuarajee used when building his umiak. Hidden 
in the bows his umiak had two wooden dolls as amulets, in the stem one 
representing a woman with hair-tuft, and in the stern another representing 
the husband of this one. When Kättuarajee was to make his umiak he visited 
Akernilik. The latter said to Kättuarajee: “I will sell you my magic formula 
to use for your umiak.” They then left Akernilik’s house, and in the open 
air the old man taught Kättuarajee his magic formula. Kättuarajee paid two 
seal-skins for it. Then he returned to his own house, built his umiak, and 
chanted the formula over it.
