There was much noise, and a wailing among the women, and fear sat heavily on all. Tummasook and the woman Ipsukuk rolled on the ground in pain, and with them there were divers others, also Moosu. I thrust aside those that cluttered the way of my feet, and put the mouth of the bottle to Moosu's lips. And straightway he became well and ceased his howling.
Even now they do howl without his igloo, and his woman- folk within, and what of the noise, he cannot make himself heard. "'O Angeit, thou hast done well, I commanded. 'Go now, taking this empty sled and the lean dogs, and ride fast to the igloo of Moosu; and before the people, who are drunken, are aware, throw him quick upon the sled and bring him to me.
I knew that thou didst command the ear of God, and that when you spoke he listened. And I remembered that whatever of the good deeds that I had done, I had done through the grace of God, and the grace of Moosu. "'Yes, my children, I cried, turning to the people, 'whatever right I have done, and whatever good I have done, have been because of the counsel of Moosu.
I had met his wishes all along the line, and even anticipated some; and standing there, self-shorn of all my power, he knew the time did not favour to stir the people against me. "Before they could disperse I made announcement that while the still went to Moosu, whatever hooch I possessed went to the people.
"But I was not disturbed, for I knew what I knew, and when I returned to my own igloo, I descanted to Moosu, and said: 'Happily the property right obtains amongst this people, who otherwise have been blessed with but few of the institutions of men.
The fall of Neewak was complete, for he lost all his possessions, his walrus- hide drums, his incantation tools everything. And in the end he became a hewer of wood and drawer of water at the beck and call of Moosu. And Moosu he set himself up as shaman, or high priest, and out of his garbled Scripture created new gods and made incantation before strange altars.
And first, Esanetuk, who be SICK TUMTUM, fought with Kluktu, and there was much noise. And next, being daughters of the one mother, did they fight with Tukeliketa. And after that did they three fall upon Moosu, like wind-squalls, from every hand, till he ran forth from the igloo, and the people mocked him. For a man who cannot command his womankind is a fool.
