The One ho Finds Nothing
“Pi-ehn-i-lin-uk”
(Continued)
There he lay all night without
moving. When the sun came up he
heard a Rav<m r making, and then
its mate, He ned quiet and
the Raven ca lighting near
him with its m. t beyond. The
nearest Raven spoke, saying,
“Look! here is something to eat.
We have not eaten, and we had
better not wait. Let us have his
eyes.” The farthest Raven an
swered, "No, he is not dead.
"Why does he lie then, as if he
were dead?” said the first Raven.
"No, he is not dead: for look
there, there is no smoke by him,
(of his burial fire), replied the
second one.
Then the first Raven became en
raged and cast himself about, say
ing "Why is he thrown out, then?
Look at his things scattered about
him.”
"I do not wish any of it, said
the mate. "There is no smoke by
him. I will leave you.” And he flew
away.
‘All right, you can fly off," said
the first Raven; "I will have his
eyes.”
Then the man opened his eyes
very slightly and loked sidewise at
the Raven. This one, coming
toward the small, ugly-faced
young man, stood there holding up
his beak, which became a fine
knife. He went nearer, and be
tween his eyelashes the man saw,
raised by the hilt, a fine knife. He
thought, "I have no knife. Then
the point came close to him. He

thought again, “I have no knife.
He suddenly caught it and snatched
it away from the Raven.
Back sprang Raven, and the man
sat up. “Give me my knife," said
Raven. The man answered, saying,
“I have no knife, and this shall
be my knife.” The Raven replied,
“I will pay you for it with all kinds
of game.”
“No, said the man, “I will not
give it back. I always go hunting
and can get nothing.”
“Then,” said the Raven, “If you
wish to go back to the village you
will not reach there when you
try.”
“I have no knife,” replied the
man. Here the Raven coughed and
fell down, saying, “Thus will you
do, keep my knife, if you prize
it," said he, and flew away.
The man sat up, still keeping
the knife. Then he started to go
back to the village. As he was
going his throat contracted, his
back bent over in front, and he
rested his hands on his knees. Sud
denly he became an old man. He
could not walk. He lay on his face.
He did not stir. He was dead.

Locate Capsized
Boat of 3 Missing
Juneau Hunters
JUNEAU ifr — A boat in which
throe Juneau area hunters left
Auke Bay Saturday en route to
Barlow Cove was found overturned
off Admiralty Island Wednesday
night and hopes for their safety
faded.
The Coast Guard said the 16
foot outboard cabin cruiser was
found with its windshield shat
tered and one of its two dead en
gines with its throttle wide open,
in forward gear.
Missing were Terence Robbins,
a Bureau of Land Management em
ploye: Erland Pearson, a long
shoreman, and Herbert Hakala,
an employe of a local transfer
company.
Search for the three men started
Wednesday after the Coast Guard
was advised that they had not con
tacted a second hunting party as
scheduled at Barlow Cove, on Ad
miralty Island 18 miles northwest
of Juneau.
The three men were to have
returned to a small boat mooring
at Auke Bay, north of Juneau,
Sunday or Monday.
It was believed when they failed
to return as scheduled that they
had merely been weathered in.
The temperature was around 10
degrees, with gusty winds to 40
miles per hour, when they left
Auke Bay Saturday.
The capsized boat was found by
a 95-foot Coast Guard patrol boat,
which was assigned to the search
Wednesday along with an amphib
ian aircraft from Annette Island.
Th? patrol boat and the amphib
ian were pressed into the search
for Hakala, Robbins and Pearson
again Thursday and members of
the Juneau rescue council were as
signed to a beach search on Port
land, South Shelter and Admiralty
Islands.
The Coast Guard said one log
ger’s boot was found in the boat,
along with two packboards. No life
jackets were found in the capsized
craft.
