almost
before he had reached land, the old one came to him, and the cormorant
skeleton was taken out of the kayak. Now the old one trembled all over
with surprise. And he took the skeleton, and put it away, and said:

"Now you must search for a soft stone, which has never felt the sun,
a stone good to make a lamp of."

And the strong man began to search for such a stone.

Once when he was on this search, he came to a cliff, which stood in
such a place that it never felt the sun, and here he found a fine lamp
stone. And he brought it home, and the old one took it and put it away.

A few days passed, and then the strong one's wife began to feel
the birth-pangs, and the old one went in there at once with his own
wife. Then she bore a son, and when he was born, the strong man said
to the old one:

"This is your child; name him after some dead one." [2]

"Let him be named after him who died of hunger in the north,
at Amerdloq."

This the old one said. And then he said:

"His name shall be Qujavarssuk!"

And in this way the old one gave him that name.

Now Qujavarssuk grew up, and when he was grown big enough, the strong
man said to the old one:

"Make a kayak for him."

Now the old one made him a kayak, and the kayak was finished. And when
it was finished, he took it by the nose and thrust him out into the
water to try it, but without loosing his hold. And when he did this,
there came one little seal up out of the water, and others also. This
was a sign that he should be a strong man, a chief, when the seals
came to him so. When he drew him out of the water, they all went down
again, and not a seal remained.

Now the old one began to make hunting things. When they were finished,
and there was nothing more to be done in making them, and he thought
the boy was of a good age to begin going out to hunt seal, he said
to the strong one:

"Now row out with him, for he must go seal hunting."

Then he rowed out with him, and when they had come so far out that
they could not see the bottom, he said:

"Take the harpoon point with its line, and fix it on the shaft."

They had just made things ready for their hunting and rowed on farther,
when they came to a flock of black seal.

The strong one said to him:

"Now row straight at them."

And then he rowed straight at them, and he lifted his harpoon and he
threw it and he struck. And this he did every day in the same manner,
and made a catch each time he went out
