NOTES. — *@) orcuwiain (A) orsuiaq (В), cf. no. 216 (note 11) where “blub- 
ber-stone” seems rather to be used as a contemptuous nick-name for a spouse 
(WGr. orsog ‘blubber’). It is a kind of feldspar, a heavy stone. 
* (10) kitiwar А = såtuaq (В) ‘the inserted point of an itsuarteen har- 
poon’ (both words are obsolete). 
* (11—12) Here, in both texts an explanatory intermediate link seems to 
be lacking. It is possible that we have only a fragment of an original more 
complete myth.

The tale treats of a young girl discovered in the embrace of a man in 
the hollow opening underneath an umiak. The large women’s boat drawn up 
on shore with its keel uppermost often affords shelter for travellers. In this 
instance it is near the settlement itself that the boat has been drawn up on 
land to rest out throughout the winter on two rows of stakes made from 
drift-wood and forming a hollow opening which resembles the one under- 
neath the platform in the house. (See in First Part, figs. 84—85). In the dark 
of winter trolls and elves can secrete themselves here to the great dismay of 
human beings who come to the hiding-place beneath the arch of the boat 
in search of their tools or food. Taarajudtsaait is the name given to the kind 
of dwarfish trolls most resembling human beings and living in their vicinity 
— The tale contains a moral element in the old woman’s examinations on 
the platform in the hut, in order to find out by means of her house-spirit 
(gila) what the trouble in the women’s-boat was about. We have found a 
AM.
