Clat-Ka-Koi, or Billy, says that his father told him that his (Billy's) 

 grandfather nsed to hunt seals, but that when he was a boy they disap- 

 peared altogether, and were not seen on the coast for a number of years. 

 Years afterwards he (Billy's father) went away whaling, and on his 

 return brought two seals home with him which he had got at sea, and 

 he did not know what they were until told by a very old man of the 

 tribe, named Nehkit.
