Note 17 — Raven Traveling

After he had gone along for some time, lo, Eagle17 was coming; and he said to him: “Comrade, I have been drinking sea water. You, too, had better drink sea water.” And he drank some in his sight. At once he defecated as he went along. Then Eagle, too, drank some. He also defecated as he went, and he said: “Cousin, come, let us build a fire.” “Wait, I am looking for the place.” Then Eagle pulled a water-tight basket out from under his armpit and drank from it. At once what he had drunk spurted from his mouth as he went along. After they had gone along for a while they landed upon certain flat rocks extending into the sea.
