The Maritime provinces: a handbook for travellers . er in the distance, and at last they wholly diedaway; and then deep silence fell on them all, and a great marvel came to pass,and the beasts who had till now spoken but one language no longer were able tounderstand each other, and they all fled away, each his own way, and never agaiuhave they met together in council. Until the day when Glooscap shall return torestore the Golden Age, and make men and animals dwell once more together inamity and peace, all Nature mourns. The tradition states that on his departurefrom Acadia the great snowy owl retired to the deep forests to return no more untilhe could come to welcome Glooscap; and in those sylvan depths the owls, even yet,repeat to the night, Koo koo skoos ! Koo koo skoos ! which is to say, in the In-dian tongue, 0, I am sorry ! 0,1 am sorry ! And the loons, who had been thehuntsmen of Glooscap, go restlessly up and down through the world, seeking vainlyfor their master, whom they cannot find, and wailing sadly because they find himnot.
