in his kayak.

Then some people who had made a wintering place in the south heard,
in a time of hunger, of Qujavarssuk, the strong man who never suffered
want. And when they heard this, they began to come and visit the
place where he had land. In this way there came once a man who was
called Tugto, and his wife. And while they were there--they were both
great wizards--the man and his wife began to quarrel, and so the wife
ran away to live alone in the hills. And now the man could not bring
back his wife, for he was not so great a wizard as she. And when the
people who had come to visit the place went away, he could do nothing
but stay there.

One day when he was out hunting seal at Ikerssuaq, he saw a big black
seal which came up from the bottom with a red fish in its mouth.

Now he took bearings by the cliffs of the place where the seal went
down, and after that time, when he was out in his kayak, he took up
all the bird wings that he saw, and fastened all the pinion feathers
together.

Tugto was a big man, yet he had taken up so much of this that it
was a hard matter for him to carry it when he took it on his back,
and then he thought it must be enough for that depth of water.

At last the ice lay firm, and when the ice lay firm, he began to make
things ready to go out and fish. One morning he woke, and went away
over land. He came to a lake, and walked over it, and came again
on to the land. And thus he came to the place where lay that water
he was going to fish, and he went out on the ice while it was still
morning. Then he cut a great hole in the ice, and just as he cast out
the weight on his line, the sun came up. It came quite out, and went
across the sky, all in the time he was letting out his line. And not
until the sun had gone half through the day did the weight reach the
bottom. Then he hauled up the line a little way, and almost before it
was still, he felt a pull. And he hauled it up, and it was a mighty sea
perch. This he killed, but did not let down his line a second time,
for in that way it would become evening. He cut a hole in the lower
jaw of the fish, and put in a cord to carry it with. And when he took
it on his head, it was so long that the tail struck against his heel.

Then in this manner he walked away, and came to land. When he came
to the big lake he had walked over in the morning, he went out on
it. But when he had come half the way over, the ice began to make a
noise, and when he lo
