Holm’s collection, see First Part. I have, too, a more complete account of 
the same tale from Kaaralik’s father, Mitsuarnianna, which I hope to be 
able to publish another time. 
‘“Uleewaitsiag, who had no kaiak, used his umiak as а kaiak.™ 
He had a sealing-net.® The child of one of his country-men dis- 
appeared. To be sure they called and called it, (but) it had disap- 
peared and remained so.“ Then they came home and the father of 
the child who had disappeared bid, saying:™ “Му one kaiak, I offer 
that, to whomever gets a glimpse of our child.” Then spoke Ulee- 
waaitsiaq: “Those inland-dwellers up there, I am afraid they have 
stolen it! Provide me with an anorak made of (the skin of) a 
bearded seal!“ Then they dressed him in an anorak of bearded seal 
skin which had not been softened. * ® 
As time passed the child’s father said: “When will Uleewaitsiaq 
summon his assistant spirits?” Then he answered: “Yea, who knows 
what day?” 0 — The others spoke again of him: “When will Ulee- 
waitsiaq summon his assistant spirits?” D — Uleewaitsiaq answered 
again: “Yea, who knows what day?’ (12) — Finally he said: “Now the 
moment has come, let us visit him!” So they went to them. Each 
time they came to these boulders [?] * they struck them with their 
fists.4® Now they came to them: (they were) four men, with their 
women they were five (people). Uleewaitsiag went slowly in (through 
the house passage), with a spring he seized it (the child) (4), killed 
the woman, the men took hold of him, Uleewaaitsiaq killed them.” 
They started back, then they came home and the news were received.) 
“Finally,” he said, “Kaawtattik’s son will ‘sing’!” |i. e. hold a 
drum-contest with me], he said.‘ Then he went to him and with- 
out hesitation entered the house. Kaawtatik’s son was not at home.“ 
(Old) Kaawtattik said finally: “There is now a good chance for the 
visitors to depart.” * D However Uleewaaitsiaq remained in the house.“ 
Kaawtattik’s daughter-in-law went out. Then they said: “Now he 
is coming” (Kaawtattik’s son). Then he came with his catch of two 
walruses.°) There were two house passages to the house.* Now he 
went out first (and) he usually came in by the other house passage.) 
At last he was heard coming in (through it). At this he seized his 
club, #29 as he was about to hit him on the back of the head with 
the club, in this direction (his head?).* He warded off the blow, ** and 
was hit on the one arm.” Again he tried to hit him from the other 
side; he would hit him in the head with the club. Again he did the 
same in this direction;@ then he grabbed the club away from him. 
Uleewaaitsiag, with his left hand forced him to sit down, after which 
he pressed it, (the club) hard against the front of his eye. Then 
he let him go (and) went out (and) went in to the neighbour's.) A 
young fellow at the neighbour’s— he requested him (the young fellow) 
to go over and call.“?) Later he came in (and) told: “Kaawtattik’s 
son is much puffed up (swollen). (3) He said: “Go again and see!” 
So he did. He came again a second time:® “He is much swollen, 
he has had a relapse.” ®* The end.
