Then he wanted fire drills. Now all the town people gave fire drills to him. When they came in with them he let them all drill together. Then he looked on. After all had done the same thing they put them into the fire. That was why he had them give them to himself.
When they stopped dancing they waved their hats. He sang a song. When all stopped he whistled. Then they stopped singing his [song, which sounded like this]: “Tcô′lōhô′ldīdôlgîts.”[17]
Afterward Sᴀqaiyū′ł again spoke through him. And, after the dancing had gone on a while longer, he wanted to sleep. At that time the Sea-grass town chiefs would not let him. By and by, since they feared the supernatural beings might say something different from what they wanted if they refused, they let him sleep.
When they agreed they made a sail house[18] for him in the corner. And just at evening he went in and lay down. Next day, very early, before the raven cried he awoke (lit., departed). After that they again came in dancing. When they stopped dancing he had me sit near him. Then he began to tell me quietly [what had happened].
At that time he (Sᴀqaiyū′ł) stood on top of the mountain on Qꜝᴀ′ñga with him. Then he took a handkerchief[19] out of his pocket, put it over his face, and wept. His clothes were all white. But he had no coat. Something with wheels[20] stood near him, and presently he put him into his pocket on the right side. Then he got into this, and he struck it. It went right along. After he had gone along slowly he came to a city with him and took him out of his pocket. And he stood up.
A big being with a black skin stood there. He also had a big gun. He stood pointing it downward at the earth. Sᴀqaiyū′ł handed something to him out of his pocket. After a while he took it without looking at him and put it into his mouth. He did not know what it was. He thought it was Indian tobacco.
Then Sᴀqaiyū′ł said to him: “Do not be afraid, master. Even the supernatural beings die. Where my three sets of clothing hang up, I have lived a long time. I died three times, but my body never dies.”
When he went thither with him, he saw a large kettle boiling out of doors. He said he did not see what made it boil. Near it was a long thing, the lower end of which was square, on which the Kwakiutl who had killed a certain one along with a Haida were nailed.[21] They had put them into the kettle. There they remained.
There he saw his uncle. Then his uncle asked him: “Did you see the one standing there with a black skin? He shoots down on those people below who treat each other badly. Then the land below is also full of smoke, and there is sickness everywhere.”
Then his uncle[22] spoke to him through the doorway. “Why are you here?” “Sᴀqaiyū′ł brought me around in that thing.” “Be watchful. If one always watches, he, too, will live here. The black man always keeps watch on those who are foolish.” [[314]]
