Then, when they go to it, they rejoice. Then they reach Partridge Island. Now long ago, beavers were terrible animals. Kuloskap, although good of heart, does not love them at all, since, long ago, Young Beaver, the daughter of Old Beaver, made Wolf kill his (Kuloskap's) brother. Even to-day his (Beaver's) enormous bones are to be found at Cape Breton. Sometimes their teeth are six inches long. Such beavers do not live now-a-days. These built the dam across at Cape Blomidon; they are those found in the river bed at Annapolis.
Kuloskap wanted to have a hunt and he wished to make it equal to the whalefishing of long ago of Kitpuseogunow. So he cuts open the dam near the shore. He instructs Sable to watch (or to wait) for them. He thinks Young Beaver is hiding there. He bursts the dam near the shore. The waters rush through violently. It swings around to the west. Still it is not yet broken on the farther shore. The end lodged; it was split; where the floods are free, they can see it even to-day.
This in Micmac is called "Blegan;" in Passamaquoddy "Pliheegun," which means "he missed fire." He hurls a rock at the young one, so as to try to frighten him; he throws some clods of earth; it sticks in the mouth of the St. John's River near St. Johns. All the Wabanaki call it Partridge Island. There is a pond left in the basin at Minas.
Kuloskap drives away the young one; he picks up a salt water rock and throws it, seeking to hit him; it sticks fast by Ne(k)wutkook. It is still there right in the middle of the St. John's River.
IX. Kuloskap and Turtle.
How Kuloskap turns his uncle Mikchich (Turtle) into a great person and how he marries him; how he gets him a wife; about turtles' eggs; how Kuloskap drove away the wizards by merely smoking red-willow bark.
Kuloskap, when he goes from Newfoundland, uses a canoe; he comes to Pictou; he comes to an Indian village; there he finds his uncle Turtle. He is very lazy and he goes slowly. They say: "He is certainly Kuloskap's uncle," but others think this is by adoption.
