How do you like such music? A Passamaquoddy tale related by an old woman to Mrs. W. Wallace Brown. These Indians still keep up a very curious snake-dance. How Glooskap bound Wuchowsen, the Great Wind-Bird, and made all the Waters in all the World Stagnant.
The goblins were caught in the flood and swept into the sea, where Glooskap changed them into fish. From times of old these noble hills have been the scenes of supernatural visitations and mysterious occurrences. The tallest peak of the Agiochooks as they were, in Indian naming was the seat of God himself, and the encroachment there of the white man was little liked.
Glooskap had merely to wish the return of the dainty when it flew back into his platter.
But the Norsemen expected such a fight, when arrows would fly like hail, and Glooskap is supposed to be deliberately preparing for it. A very curious point remains to be noted in this narration. When the Indians speak of Christian, or white, or civilized teachings, they say, "I heard," or, "I have been told." This they never do as regards their own ancient traditions. When Mrs.
And filled with fury at being made a jest of, since it was a great despite that he had not even found it worth while to kill her when asleep, she burst out into her own form, which was beautiful as sin, wild as the devil, and gathering up all her imps, and making herself far more magical by fiercer will, went onward to encounter him again. Then Glooskap came to a narrow pass in the hills.
Then, seeing him, he cried out with joy; but Glooskap, who was hiding in the woods, bade him be silent. "Wait till it is dark," he said, "and I will go to your wigwam. Now you may go home and tell your grandmother." "Where, oh where, Where is my brother? He who fed me often On the marrow of the moose!" And she replied, "Alas for thee, boy! He is far, far away; You will see him no more."
It may be observed that the Indian tale is far from being perfect, and that in all probability the whole of it includes a fishing for the sea-serpent. It is plainly set forth in the Edda that Cold may be overcome by a magic spell. How Glooskap made a Magician of a Young Man, who aided another to win a Wife and do Wonderful Deeds.
How Glooskap changed Certain Saucy Indians into Rattlesnakes You know At-o-sis, the Snake? Well, the worst of all is Rattlesnake. Long time ago the Rattlesnakes were saucy Indians. They were very saucy. They had too much face. They could not be put down by much, and they got up for very little. When the great Flood was coming Glooskap told them about it. They said they did not care.
But Glooskap filled it full, and, lighting it, burnt all the tobacco to ashes at one pull, and blew all the smoke through his nostrils at one puff. Then the brothers said again in anger, "This is indeed a great magician. Yet he shall be tried again ere he goes, and that bitterly." But they never said it again.
"Who is he?" asked Glooskap. "It is the mighty Wasis. But leave him in peace. Otherwise you will be in sore trouble." Now the Indian chief had never married. He knew nothing of children and their ways. But he thought, as is the manner of such, that he knew everything. So he knelt on one knee, held out a hand, and smiling sweetly, said, "Baby, come to me!" Wasis smiled, but did not stir.
