and I will seek the place this very day. When I have found it out,
I will repay you in ways more certain than I can now command."

Thus spake the ogre, and Eut-le-ten replied, "'Tis easy done. This
gift is yours as well as mine. Test it but once, and you will see
that you have powers as great as I."

The giant's bulky frame was filled with pride. "You're right," he
swore, "the thing that you can do, by all the Tyee salmon, so can I."

Once more the wedge was driven to the heart, until again the sides
were spread a-gape. In climbed the giant,--he did not think the fit
would be so tight.

"Are you all ready?" Eut-le-ten called out.

"Yes!" roared the giant, with a thunderous shout.

"Die then!" cried Eut-le-ten, as he took the hammer up, and struck
upon the side the great yew wedge. Out sprung the wedge, the sides
snapped together, crushing within the ogre's ponderous frame.

Ignoring his wild shouts they crunched to powder all his giant bones.

The ogre and his mate were thus destroyed, and never more have
children been led astray by E-ish-so-oolth's dread and magic craft,
to suffer death in ways too sad to tell.
