they enslaved two women. (The others) came thither, and while 

 they lay close to the land, rejoicing over the persons captured, some 

 people came sailing around a point in a canoe, saw them and jumped 

 off. Then (we) landed in pursuit of them. And after I had spent 

 some little time preparing myself, I got off. And I started to pursue 

 one person who was running about near the sea. After I had chased 

 him about in the woods for a while, he jumped into the ocean. And 

 I took his hair, along with his yellow-cedar bark blanket, away from 

 him. And he came up out at sea and held up his hands in front of 

 my face (in token of surrender). Then he swam shoreward toward 

 me. When he got near me, he dove again and came to the surface 

 out at sea, and I bt^gan to shoot at him. Then he swam landward 

 and held himself tightly against the face of a certain cliff. After I 

 had shot at him twice there, I stopped. Then he climbed up upon 

 a tree standing upon the face of the cliff. And although its top was 

 some distance from the cliff, he bent it toward it, and after a while 

 got hold of the face of the cliff. And he went into a hole in it. He 

 could not go from it either downward or upward. We said to one 

 another that he would die right in it. 



Then they started from that place in their canoes. Then they had 

 a fire and began to give each other food. And after they again 

 started off, they again began fighting with the fort. Then we got 

 into a position from which we could not get away. Then, although 

 we could not get away at first, they finally got us into (the canoes). 

 And a certain person crept around on top of the house. They shot 

 him so that he fell down. And after they had lain out to sea for 

 some time, a man wearing a dancing-blanket and cedar-bark rings 

 dragged down a canoe and came out to us, accompanied by a woman. 

 And those in Ldo'gwan's canoe talked to them. Then they told the 

 woman to come closer, and said that they should shoot the man so 

 that he would fall into the water. Ldo'gwaii refused and started 

 away from them. Then they fled away in terror. Their ammu- 

 nition was all gone. Then we also started off. 



Then they started from Point-Dji'dao, and, after they had spent 

 four nights upon the sea, they came to Cape St. James. After they 

 had traveled two more nights, they came to Kaisun. Instead of 

 accomplishing what they had hoped, they returned from a far country 

 almost empty-handed. Here this story comes to an end.
