" they started on the trip . when , after traversing an immense waste of water , they had reached the island , mishosha led him inland until they came to the foot of a tall pine - tree , upon which the nests were to be found .

the tree , at this bidding , rose up so far that owasso would have imperiled his neck by any attempt to get to the ground . " listen , ye eagles ! " continued mishosha . " you have long expected a gift from me . i now present you this boy , who has had the presumption to climb up where you are to molest your young . stretch forth your claws and seize him . " so saying , the old magician , according to his custom in such cases , turned his back upon owasso . going off in his canoe at a word , he left his son - in - law to shift for himself . but the birds did not seem to be so badly - minded as the old magician had supposed . a very old bald eagle , quite corpulent and large of limb , alighting on a branch just opposite , opened conversation with him by asking what had brought him there . owasso replied that he had not mounted the tree of himself , or out of any disposition to harm his people . his father - in - law , the old magician who had just left them , had sent him up . he was constantly sending him on mischievous errands . in a word , the young man was enlarging at great length upon the character of the wicked manito . he was interrupted by being darted upon by a hungry - eyed bird , with long claws . owasso , not in the least disconcerted , boldly seized this fierce eagle by the neck and dashed it against the rocks , crying out : " thus will i deal with all who come near me . " the old eagle , who appeared to be the head of the tribe , was so pleased with this show of spirit that he immediately appointed two tall birds , uncommonly strong in the wings , to transport owasso to his lodge . they were to take turns in conducting him through the air . owasso expressed many obligations to the old eagle for his kindness , and they forthwith set out . it was a high point from which they started , for the pine - tree had shot far , far up toward the clouds , and they could even descry the enchanted island where the old magician lived , though it was miles and miles away . for this point they steered their flight . in a short time they landed owasso at the door of the lodge . with many compliments for their dispatch , owasso dismissed the birds , and stood ready to greet his wicked father - in - law who now arrived . when he espied his son - in - law still unharmed , mishosha grew very black in the face . he had but a single charm left .

now in this lake there happened to harbor a wicked old manito , mishosha by name , who looked at the brothers as they played . he was vastly pleased with their nimbleness and beauty . he thought to himself , what shall i do to get these lads to accompany me ? one of them shall hit the ball sideways , and it shall fall into my canoe . it so happened , and it somehow seemed as if owasso , the elder brother , had purposely given it that direction . when owasso saw the old man , he professed to be greatly surprised . as was the other , sheem by name , in truth , for he had not noticed the old manito before . " bring the ball to us , " they both cried out . " come to the shore . " " no , " answered the old magician . he , however , came near enough for either of them to wade out to him . " come , come , " he said . " come and get your ball . " they insisted that he should come ashore , but he sturdily declined to oblige them . " very well , " said owasso , " i will go and get it . " and he ran into the water . " hand it to me , " he said , when he had approached near enough to receive it . " ha ! " answered the manito , " reach over and get it yourself . " owasso was about to grasp the ball , when the old magician suddenly seized him and pushed him into the boat . " my grandfather , " said owasso , " pray take my little brother also . alone i can not go with you . he will starve if i leave him . " mishosha only laughed at him . then uttering the charmed words , " chemaun poll ! " and giving his canoe a slap , it glided through the water , without further help , with the swiftness of an arrow . in a short time they reached the magician 's lodge , which stood upon the further shore , a little distance back from the lake . the two daughters of mishosha were seated within . " my daughter , " he said to his eldest , as they entered the lodge , " i have brought you a husband . "
owasso cared for his brother even though he was in danger .
