How tHe Kuatsorp were Kitten sy Ligurnrc (ronp 18-4) 
A long time ago the Klatsop were burned. Many women went pick- 
ing huckleberries, and camped for several days. Then one slave girl 
laughed when she heard a clap of thunder far away. That slave girl 
laughed at it. The Thunderbird thundered twice. Then that slave 
girl imitated the thunder. A stroke of lightning came and burned the 
whole camp. All were dead; only one youth remained alive. He had 
gone digging when his companions were burned. All were burned and 
died. Only that one youth remained alive. 
After some time the Klatsop were burned again. They went digging 
parsnip roots. Karly in the morning they rose. First they ate. 
Then the Thunderbird thundered. Two girls had gone already to dig 
roots near the creek. Then the women laughed at the thunder. They 
laughed ** hahahii’!” Again the Thunderbird thundered and the women
