(Continued)
 One sunny morning Nackolus padded away from shore and set his sail so that the wind pushed him rapidly towards the great is- land. Suddenly great fish many fathoms long emerged from the water, so close to the raft that it nearly threw Nackolus into the water.
 Nackolus grasped his mighty spear and hurled it into the side of the great fish which instantly swung it's great tail about and rushed through the water, already becoming red from the blood streaming from the spear thrust.
 Nackolus held onto the thong and his raft was pulled rapidly toward the other shore Suddenly the great fish turned over on it's side and rolled about flashing the water with it's mighty tail. Then it sank out of sight and with it went the mighty spear and the seal-hide thong.
 Nackolus seized his paddle and helped the sail move the raft to- ward the land of the big island which appeared green with long grass. Suddenly, the raft was rais- ed high in the air and Nackolus slipped off and grasped a pole which he recognized as the. handle of his mighty spear protruding from the side of the great fish. He was riding on the great fish which was dead and floating toward the big island.
 They Sooned reached shallow water and Nackolus twisted loose the mighty spear and sliding into the water waded to the shore. Soon he perceived his raft farther down the beach and he ran to save the chest of food. A shower of rocks fell about him and Nackolus gllmpsed in the tall grass above him several small brown people dressed in skins and feathers. Nackolus brandished his mighty spear and darted up the steep bank toward the natives who instantly disappeared. He soon came upon a group of mud-grass cave-huts and gllmpsed a furtive eye here and there. He must impress upon these people that he was their friend and craVed cOmpanionship.
 A shrill call issued from one caVe-hut and was taken up by another until every cave-hut was doing it's best to add unto the din. Suddenly the natives began crawl ing out of the huts and formed a circle about Nackolus. They carried no type of weapon and gazed in lear and worship at the mighty stature of Nackolus, the swimmer. Many times they circled about him and then led him. to large pit left him standing in the center.
 Nackolus instantly perceived that they stood in awe of his mighty strength and great spear and so he began a long Oration gesticulaitng freely with hands and feet. He ex- plained that he was the son of Great King in Cathay across Tung- hal and that he had come to find the home of the Sun God. He told them that he was their friend and desired their companionship. He pointed to the great fish lying on the shore and showed them how he had killed it with his great spear. Suddenly an old man moved to Nackolus, bowed down and plac- ed his head against Nackolus's foot that the mighty swim mer was his master. One by one they followed, until all but one had Slgnltled his serfdom. This one, Nackolus perceived wore suit of feathers of bright colors and drew away to cave-hut which was much larger and had an outer en- trance of great bones of a polished 
 . Nackolus looked at her, askanse, put followed the beckonings of the older men who led him to bury Ing ground and showed him a re- cent corpse wrapped in skins and sea-weed. Nackolus saw many such wrappings but this one, he noted, wore finer skins and the sea-weed was woven in form of mating.
 He finally concluded that their chief had died: that the bright
