" And while he lay there he recovered from his illness and turning on his side he looked into the hole. After a while he said to his wife : * Do thou look thither into the hole to see what things are occurring there in yonder place.' Arid as she bent her body to look into the hole he took her by the nape of the neck and pushed her and she fell into the hole and kept falling into the darkness thereof. After a while she passed through and as she looked about her, as she slowly fell, she saw that all about her was blue in color and soon discovered that what she observed was a vast expanse of water, on which floated all kinds of water fowls in great numbers. " Thereupon. Loon, looking into the water and seeing her reflection, shouted, ' A man-being, a female is coming up from the depths of the waters.' The Bittern, answering, said, * She is not indeed coming up out of the depths of the water, she is falling from above.' Thereupon they held a council to decide what they should do to provide for her welfare. " They finally invited Great Turtle to come. Loon, thereupon, said to him, ' Thou should float thy body above the place where thou art in the depths of the water.' And then as Great Turtle arose to the surface, a large body of ducks of various kinds arose from the face of the water, elevated themselves in a very compact body, and went up to meet her. And on their backs did she alight, and they slowly descended, bearing her body on their backs, and on the back of Great Turtle they placed her. " Then Loon said, ' Come, you deep divers, dive and bring up earth.' Many dived into the water, and Beaver was a long time gone.
