182 by name, was playing with a number of other boys. Suddenly he sank into the rock, but the others ran away and escaped. "My spear!" he cried, "where is it?" The people tried to spear him, but did not succeed. They also tried to tip over the stone, but only succeeded in making it rock. Finally the boy died inside.

6. Imī′ne had two wives, but was a very poor hunter. He used to go out hunting with four other men, but though they got walrus, he never did. His wives twitted him about this, until one day he returned from the hunt, saying he had killed a walrus. They rejoiced exceedingly, but when he brought his booty, it was only a gull, and a small one at that. He had fooled them. A. L. Kroeber.
