Falling-tide was a brave man among the people of Songs-of-victory town. One time, when he got back from fighting, he threw his kelp fish line into the fire. Then he occupied a fort. At that time he had nothing to eat. He spoiled himself.[3] After that they also killed him, and only the town of Kaisun was left.
One day they stretched out a black-cod fishing line upon the beach in front of Kaisun with the intention of seeing how far down the house of The-one-in-the-sea was. But, when they went out fishing, they never came back. Then that town was also gone.[4]
They used to go fishing at night, because they said that the black cod came to the surface of the sea during the night.
Before this, when the town people were still there, a child refused to touch some black cod. And, after he had cried for a while, something moving burning coals about called him through the doorway;[5] “Come here, my child; grandmother has some roots mixed with grease which she put away for you.”
Then his parents told him to go out, and he went thither. It stretched its arm in to him into the house, and the child said: “Horrors,[6] something with large, cold hands grasped me.” Then it said: “Grandfather has just come in from fishing. I have been washing gills. That is why he says my hands are cold.”
Then his parents again told him to go out, and he went out to it. It threw him into a basket made of twisted boughs. Then the child cried, and they went out to look at him. He was crying within the earth. [[328]]
Then they began to dig. They dug after the sound of his crying in the earth. By and by they dug out the tail of the marten he wore as a blanket. There are now ditches in that place.
The chief’s children in the town of Kaisun went on a picnic. They had a picnic behind Narrow-cave.[7] Then all went out of the cave from the town chief’s daughter. Some of them went to drink water. Part of them went after food. Some of them also went to get fallen limbs [for firewood].
