Reading edition

While he was speaking through him he said to him: “How many whales are there going to be?” He said to him: “One floats at Point-tꜝā′łᴀs.”4 And he said to him, “One is floating below Ku′nga-i.”5 Then he (the shaman) looked there and the whale floated there. Then he sent a person thither. He saw nothing. Only coots floated there. And, since he did not find it there, he (the shaman) again looked, and it was still floating there. Then he became angry, because he (the spirit) kept fooling him.
