the umiaks had left, and he could not find his kayak, he had wound
his body about with strips of hide, bending it into a curve, and
then, as is the way of wizards, gathered magic power wherewith to
move through the air. And thus he had come back to that place, long
before those who had sought his death.

And from that day onwards, none ever planned again to take his
wife. And it was well for them that they left him in peace.

For at that time, people were many, and there were people in all
the lands round about. Out on the islands also there were people,
and these were a fierce folk whom none might come near. Moreover when
a kayak from the mainland came near their village, they would call

But now one day Angusinanguaq planned to avenge his
fellow-villagers. He rowed out to those unapproachable ones, and took

man. Now the giant was about to give him this drum, but at the same
time he felt such a violent desire to eat him up, that he trembled
all over.

Just then some great salmon began dropping down through a hole in the
roof, and the man was so frightened at this that he could scarcely
eat. And he could not get out of the place.

But he was himself a great wizard, and now he began calling upon his
helping spirits. And they were great.

"Killer whales, killer whales--come forth, my helping spirits and
show yourselves, for here is one who desires to eat me up."

And they came forth, and the house was crushed and the giant was
killed, and the man set out again in search of his own.

Then he met another big man, and this man did nothing but
