ONE-EYED ZOQUA.
By Helen Harnden.
Once upon a time, on an island in
Alaska, a cliff rose up from the water to
the height of several feet. Under this
cliff there was a hole leading into a cave
in which a great rat lived, or an animal
looking like a rat, having cne large eye.
The Indians called it "One-Eyed Zoqua."
Boat out at night would often see the
great eye of the Zoqua, as it shone like a
great light.
A stranger out hunting one day did
not know that the large Zoqua existed.
He accidentally fell into the cave or the
home of the large Zoqua. The Zoqua
lived on seals and every day he would
go out and bring in about twenty seals
piled up on his tail. He switched his
tail and all the seals would fall cross
wise over each other. When this strang
er fell in he lit on the seals and conse
quently was not hurt. He hid in under
the seals for many days for there was
no way for him to get out. At last he
decided to kill the Zoqua. The Indians
of that time always wore a long knife
fastened around their necks, so the
6tranger sharpened his knife on the
cliffs while the rat was out hunting and
then hid.
The rat came in as before with a
large load of seals and threw them over
the other seals. The stranger worked
his way to the top and peeped out and
saw the zoqua asleep. He then cut out
the Zoqua's eye. Its heart was in its eye,
so it died. When the tide went out of
the cave the next morning the Zoqua
floated out and the stranger having no
other way to get out sat on top of the
Zoqua and floated with him. They float
ed around for many days. At last the
wayes washed the Zoqua ashore and the
stranger got off and went back to his
people, whom he brought back to the
cave to get the skins of the seals. After
that the stranger's people always liked
the seals because they saved the life of
the stranger when he fell into the cave.
