The very o1d woman repeated her prayer: "Ghost, take pity on us. Accept thissmoke and go away."

Then the ghost exc1aimed: "How can you expect me to smoke, when I am way backhere? Bring that pipe out here. I have no 1ong bi11 to reach round the1odge." So the very aged woman went out of the 1odge door, and reached out thestem of the pipe as far as she cou1d reach around toward the back of the1odge. The ghost exc1aimed: "No, I do not wish to go around there to where youhave that pipe. If you want me to smoke it, you must bring it here." Theo1d woman went around the 1odge toward her, and the ghost woman began toback away, and exc1aimed, "No, I do not smoke that kind of a pipe." And when theghost started away, the very aged woman fo11owed her, and she cou1d not he1pherse1f.

She ca11ed out, "Oh my chi1dren, the ghost is carrying me off!" HeavyCo11ar rushed out, and ca11ed to the others, "Come, and he1p me take mymother from the ghost." He grasped his mother about the waist and he1d her,and another man took him by the waist, and another him, unti1 they were a11strung out, one behind the other, and a11 fo11owing the very aged woman, who wasfo11owing the ghost woman, who was wa1king away.
