he uses his power. Then he places Pukjinskwes with her back to a tree. Then she sticks fast to it; she cannot get away.
Sable and Kuloskap go away to the camp. This one, Pukjinskwes, has a stone hatchet and with great difficulty she cuts herself loose so that she can escape. Pogumk hears her pounding all night.
In the morning she comes to where they are; when they see her, she is carrying a piece of tree on her back; they scorn her and they sing at her: "This one leaves the chief on an island; now the chief sticks her fast to a tree."
Then Pukjinskwes the witch is mad (with shame) and insult; she departs forever from mankind; running wild like a vile wolf. She comes to Mount Desert; she sits on a log; she says: "Now I shall change myself into something to torture (mankind)." Then she cries out; she says: "A mosquito." Always even to this day where Pogumk is, there Sable is (also).
Now it is said that Pukjinskwes conceives children by Kiwakws, giants and monsters; her children are all ugly; she rears others' children; she can steal from other women their prettiest children; she rears them, as if they were her own children. That is so that she shall not be ashamed, so repulsive are her (own) children.
Once she had stolen a boy. Then someone asks him; he says: "That one is not your mother;" then he sees his sisters and his brothers, how ugly they are, like evil beasts. This then is their way, but he is handsome. He asks his mother: "What does this mean?" His mother answers him: "These were born in the night, but(?) you are a day child."
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.
