And his wife saw that all his arrows lay there trembling. And that was because their points were made of the shinbones of men. And they trembled because their master was ill at ease. Kumagdlak had made himself arrows, and feathered them with birds' feathers.
And when he himself stood unprotected before the weapons of his enemies, he would grasp the thong of the pouch in which his mother had carried him as a child, and strike out with it, and then all arrows aimed at him would fly wide of their mark. Now all the enemies hauled up on shore, and the eldest among them cried out: "Kumagdlak!
It is time for you to go out and taste the water in the land of the dead under the earth or perhaps you will go up into the sky?" "That fate is more likely to be yours," answered Kumagdlak. And standing at the entrance to his tent, he aimed at them with his bow. If but the first arrow could be sent whirling over the boats, then he knew that none of them would be able to harm him.
And now Kumagdlak took all the bodies down by the shore and plundered them, taking their knives, and when the boats had got well out to sea, he called up a great storm, so that all the others perished. But the waves washed the bodies this way and that along the coast, until the clothes were worn off them. Here ends this story. There was once a man who had a giant dog.
The strange man also came out now, and Atungait went towards him at once. "You were kissing inside there, I see," he said. "Yes," said the stranger. And Atungait let him live, because he spoke the truth. And after that he flew back to the strong woman and made her his wife. Kumagdlak, men say, lived apart from his fellows.
