Strange as it may seem, a murderer will come to visit the relatives of his victim (though he knows that they are allowed to kill him in revenge) and will settle with them. He is kindly welcomed and sometimes lives quietly for weeks and months. Then he is suddenly challenged to a wrestling match, and if defeated is killed, or if victorious he may kill one of the opposite party, or when hunting he is suddenly attacked by his...
Halaman 584 - They were very sad over the death of their poor murdered comrade and continue to mourn and cry until this day. Having flown a short distance they discerned the boat and stirred up a heavy storm. The sea rose in immense waves that threatened the pair with destruction. In this mortal peril the father determined to offer Sedna to the birds and flung her overboard. She clung to the edge of the boat with a death grip. The cruel father then took a knife and cut off the first joints of her fingers. Falling...
Halaman 584 - ... grew up to be a handsome girl and the youths came from all around to sue for her hand, but none of them could touch her proud heart. Finally, at the breaking up of the ice in the spring a fulmar flew from over the ice and wooed Sedna with enticing song. "Come to me," it said; "come into the land of the birds, where there is never hunger, where my tent is made of the most beautiful skins. You shall rest on soft bearskins. My fellows, the fulmars, shall bring you all your heart may desire; their...
Halaman 590 - The upper world exhibits a real land with mountains, valleys, and lakes. After death, human souls either go to the upper or to the under world. The latter is decidedly to be preferred, as being warm and rich in food. There are the dwellings of the happy dead called arsissut — viz., those who live in abundance. On the contrary, those who go to the upper world will suffer from cold and famine ; and these are called the arssartut, or ballplayers, on account of their playing at ball with a walrushead,...
Halaman 364 - ... oath is intended to apply, and shall be subscribed by the party making it and certified by the signature of the person before whom it is made ; and the bill of entry shall also contain a statement of the quantity and value for duty of the goods therein mentioned...
Halaman 604 - Sedna and the other evil spirits are at last driven away, and on the following day a great festival for young and old is celebrated in honor of the event. But they must still be careful, for the wounded Sedna is greatly enraged and will seize any one whom she can find out of his hut; so on this day they all wear protecting amulets (koukparniiutang) on the tops of their hoods.
Halaman 546 - ... this normal or converse relief appear while one of the pictures remains constantly presented to the same eye. This result may be thus obtained. Having taken a photograph of the object, which should be one the converse of which has a meaning, take two others at the same angular distance, (say 18°), one on the right side, the other on the left side of the original. Of the three pictures thus taken, if the middle one be presented to the right eye, and the left picture to the left eye, a normal...
Halaman 609 - Then the native strikes with all his strength on the right cheek and in his turn inclines his head awaiting the stranger's blow. While this is going on the other men are playing at ball and singing. Thus they continue until one of the combatants is vanquished.
Halaman 589 - ... world below is called Aad-lee generally; but there are, properly, four distinct states of blessedness, and each rank has a world to itself, the lowest land being the last and best, which all hope to reach. The day on which a good person dies and is buried, the soul goes to a land immediately under the visible world; and, still descending, it arrives the second day at one yet lower; the third day it goes farther yet; and on the fourth it finds, 'Below the lowest deep, a deeper still.
