He went into their canoe and the other went home. At midnight he 
returned and said: ‘* My relative left me. He went to accompany 
the warriors who went up the river to make war.’ 
Then the warriors went. ‘The people in the canoe talked together. 
They came to a place on the other side of Kalama. The people 
went down to the water and they began to fight. He thought they 
were really people. When one of hie fellows was shot, they carried 
him into the canoe and put him in there. Then the people continued 
to fight. Now one of them said: ‘* Quick let us go home; that Indian 
has been shot.” Now he thought: ‘‘ Oh, they are ghosts.” He did not 
feel sick, and they said he had been hit. Then the people went home. 
They arrived at Leu’lag. One canoe landed, and that person went 
ashore. The people went down the river. He went up to the house 
and made a fire. He said: ‘* Behold I accompanied the ghosts,” and 
he told everything. ‘‘We did such and such a thing; we fought.
