Crater Lake, Oregon, was a haunt of water-devils who dragged into it anddrowned all who ventured near. Only within a few years could Indians bepersuaded to go to it as guides. Its discoverers saw in it the work ofthe Great Spirit, but could not guess its meaning. All but one of theseKlamaths stole away after they had looked into its circular basin andsheer walls. He fancied that if it was a home of gods they might havesome message for men, so camping on the brink of the lofty cliffs hewaited. I...n his sleep a vision came to him, and he heard voices, but couldneither make out appearances nor distinguish a word. Every night thisdream was repeated. He finally went down to the lake and bathed, andinstantly found his strength increased and saw that the people of hisdreams were the genii of the waters--whether good or bad he could notguess. One day he caught a fish for food. A thousand water-devils came tothe surface, on the instant, and seized him. They carried him to a rockon the north side of the lake, that stands two thousand feet above thewater, and from that they dashed him down, gathering the remains of hisshattered body below and devouring them.
