d sprang to life when danger passed away.
Thereat the chief became convinced that he was more than mortal man,
and gave his leave.

Thus Eut-le-ten was wed, and lived sometime within the higher realms,
until one day he thought to visit those he left below. Then down the
rope of arrow shafts he climbed, until he found himself upon the
earth among his people, and to them he told wonderful things of the
world above.

ASTRONOMY ACCORDING TO EUT-LE-TEN

The sun and moon emerge from out the house of Nas-nas-shup. The giant
codfish guarding the entrance to the house, attempts to catch them
passing. He often fails, but there are times when he succeeds, then
there is darkness--an eclipse of the sun or moon the white men say,
but that is false, it is the cod. The many stars which sparkle in the
skies are Indians, who dwell above the earth. Such things and many
more were told by him, and Eut-le-ten was counted as a chief more
learned than any that had ever been.
