Note 10 — Raven Traveling
Reading edition

It struck him. Just as he recovered from his insensibility it went into the sea. Then he built a stone wall close to the sea and behind it made another. When he told it to do the same thing again the spring salmon hit him, and, while he was on the ground, after jumping along for a while, it knocked over the nearer wall. But while it was yet moving along inside the farther wall he got up, hit it with a club, killed it, and took it up.11
