240 Then he raised his hands to heaven,

Called imploring on the tempest,

Called Waywassimo, the lightning,

And the thunder, Annemeekee;

And they came with night and darkness,

Sweeping down the Big-Sea-Water

From the distant Thunder Mountains;

And the trembling Pau-Puk-Keewis

Heard the footsteps of the thunder,

Saw the red eyes of the lightning,

Was afraid, and crouched and trembled.

Then Waywassimo, the lightning,

Smote the doorways of the caverns,

With his war-club smote the doorways,

Smote the jutting crags of sandstone,

And the thunder, Annemeekee,

Shouted down into the caverns,

Saying, "Where is Pau-Puk-Keewis!"

And the crags fell, and beneath them

Dead among the rocky ruins
