at the lake. They saw a large lake and a town on the other side. 
They said: ‘* Behold, there is the town of the Klatsop. When it gets 
dark, one man shall swim across. He shall go and take a canoe.’ 
That lake is large. Its name is 1ia’menatucte. The girls were 
bathing in front of the town. Their heads were covered with dentalia. 
They wore hair ornaments and ear ornaments. Then one of these 
people said: ‘*I wish it would grow dark quickly that we may 
attack these people.” When it grew dark, one of them said: ‘*I will 
go and fetch a canoe.” That person wore a head ornament made of 
feathers. The faces of all the Tjuwa’nxa-ike were painted black and 
red. When it began to be dark, they went down to the water and this 
man said to his companions: ‘‘ You stay here. I will go and take a 
canoe.” He walked into the water of the lake. It was shallow. At 
some places it was deep. Sometimes it reached to his armpits, some- 
times to his knees, and sometimes it went over his head.
