Atshen had seen where the shaman was camped and he went after him as far as Snegamook Lake.
While Atshen was going around the lake, the shaman never lit a fire and his wife, his child and himself were getting hungry.
When Atshen came around again, he saw the tracks of the shaman on the shore and then knew that the shaman was on the island.
