Perry Island, Bogosloff Group, Newly Risen from the Sea
“The end of the Death Trail”
The voice said also, “Some one has come up from Dreamland. Go and bring him over.”
When the chief’s son reached the other side of the lake, he saw his wife. He was very happy to see her again. People asked him to sit down. They gave him something to eat, but his wife said, “Don’t eat that. If you eat that you will never get back.” So he did not eat it.
Then his wife said, “You had better not stay here long. Let us go right away.” So they were taken back in the same canoe. It is called Ghost’s Canoe and it is the only one on that lake. They landed at the broad, flat rock where the chief’s son had stood calling. It is called Ghost’s Rock, and is at the very end of the Death Trail. Then they started down the trail, through the valley and through the thick woods. The second night they reached the chief’s house.
The chief’s son told his wife to stay outside. He went in and said to his father, “I have brought my wife back.”
The chief said, “Why don’t you bring her in?”
