"Come out now and see." Then they went out, and he went down to the wizard's house, and called through the window:
"Big man in there; come out now and let us shoot with the bow!" And when he had said this, he went and stood by a little river. When he turned to look round, the wizard was already by the passage of his house, aiming with his bow.
He said: "Come here." And then Isigâligârssik drew up spittle in his mouth and spat straight down beside his feet.
"Come here," he said then, to the great wizard. Then he went over to him, and came nearer and nearer, and stopped just before him. Now the wizard aimed with his bow towards him, and when he did this, the house-fellows cried to Isigâligârssik: "Make yourself small!" And he made himself so small that only his head could be seen moving backwards and forwards. The wizard shot and missed. And a second time he shot and missed.
Then Isigâligârssik stood up, and took the arrow, and broke it across and said:
"Go home; you cannot hit." And then the wizard went off, turning many times to look round. At last, when he bent down to get into his house through the passage way, Isigâligârssik aimed and shot at him. And they heard only the sound of his fall. The arrow was very little, and yet for all that it sent him all doubled up through the entrance, so that he fell down in the passage.
In this way Isigâligârssik won his wife again, and he lived with her afterwards until death.
