CHAPTER XCVIII.
Chapter whereby one saileth a ship in the Netherworld.
Oh thou Leg in the Northern Sky,([1]) and in that most conspicuous but inaccessible Stream; I rise up and come to light as a god, I am conspicuous but inaccessible.
I rise up and live, and bring myself to light as a god.
I cackle even as the Smen-goose, but I stoop([2]) like the Hawk at the nets of the Great Fowler.
I sail across the Sky, and Shu standeth erect and the Achmiu Stars([3]) are instantly active in raising the ladder which lifts the Setting Stars away from destruction.([4])
And I bear that which repelleth mischief as I make my voyage over the Leg of Ptah.
