III. Kuloskap and the Loon.

When Kuloskap is pursuing Winpe, one day, when he is in Newfoundland, he sees far off the loon flying about over the water. Twice he circles the lake, low near the shore where men and animals are, just as if he were seeking something.

Kuloskap asks him what he wishes. Loon says that he will be his servant and his friend. Then Kuloskap teaches him a strange cry, as if a dog were howling. When the loons wish to summon him, they call thus.
