This, which was the last to enter, was that wicked Island Spirit, who looked grim enough at Wassamo's wife, who had rejected him, as he passed in. Soon after, the old Sand-Spirit, who was a great speech-maker, arose and addressed the assembly.
The cousin obeyed, and sung his plaintive songs; or he would frequently break off in the midst of a mournful chant, and begin to recite a mirthful story, and then in the midst of Wassamo's laughter he would return to the plaintive ditty just as it suited his fancy; for the cousin was gay of spirit, and shifted his humor faster than the fleecy clouds that appeared and disappeared in the night-sky over their heads.
The skill of our people supplied them with weapons to kill game, with instruments to procure bark for their canoes, and they knew to dress and cook their victuals. One day, when the season had commenced for fish to be plentiful near the shore of the lake, Wassamo's mother said to him "My son, I wish you would go to yonder point, and see if you cannot procure me some fish.
You can be absent one year, but after that you must return." Wassamo promised to obey, and set out with his wife. When he was near his village, he left her in a thicket and advanced alone. As he did so, who should he meet but his cousin. "Netawis, Netawis," cried his cousin, "you have come just in time to save me!" Then he ran off to the lodge of Wassamo's parents.
