Nerrivik married the storm-god, who afterwards produced a storm at sea while her male relatives were ferrying her back to their homeland secretly when her husband had been absent hunting. Her relatives having cast her overboard in order to calm the storm, her grandfather cut off the hand with which she continued to grasp the boat; therefore she is now, one-handed, at the bottom of the sea.[2] (Rasmussen, 1921, p. 113) This myth is from the Inughuit (Polar Eskimos), of Smith Sound (in northern Greenland).[3]
