Then his friend starts towing him (pulling); the chief begins to tire; a little he opens one eye; he sees that they are very near. He does not have faith. He thinks: "We shall never reach land." He says: "We shall never arrive." The fox says to him: "Do not believe it."
But he thinks it very far. Pogumk thinks that he is scarcely strong enough, but so far as eye can reach (go), it is very stormy. The water indeed runs high. Pukjinskwes made it bad weather. All day they swim; not before it is dark do they land.
"My good friend," says Fox, "you may go." He runs to the Blackcats' camp. When he comes to where they had been, only ashes are there and it is cold. The people had gone away. Then indeed he begins to follow them. In one day he comes near, he overtakes his mother carrying his younger brother, the Sable, on her back. She is looking ahead, but he (Sable) is looking backward.
As Pogumk comes out from the leaves, Sable sees him. He says: "My elder brother is following." When she turns, she does not see anything. Pogumk hides himself in a tree. Then they go on. Again Sable calls out: "Certainly my mother I see my elder brother." Then once more she turns; she catches him and they rejoice much and laugh. Then she throws Sable down on the leaves like a piece of wood.
