e of the great god Llao.His throne in the infinite depths of the blue waters was sur-rounded by his warriors, giant crawfish able to lift great clawsout of the water and seize too venturesome enemies on the cliff tops. War broke out with Skell, the god of the neighboring Klamath Marshes.Shell was killed and his heart used for a ball by Llaos monsters. But aneagle, one of Shells servants, captured it in flight, and escaped with it; andShells body grew again around his living heart. Once more he was powerful,and once more he waged war against the God of the Lake. Then Llao was captured; but he was not so fortunate. Upon the highestcliff his body was torn into fragments and cast into the lake, and eaten byhis own monsters under the belief that it was Shells body. But when Llaoshead was thrown in, the monsters recognized it, and would not eat it. Llaos head still lies in the lake, and white men call it Wizard Island,&nd the cliff where Llao was torn to pieces is named Llao Rock. (116)
