 did it. 



While her corpse was still l.ying in the house, Sag.adila"o came 

 home. Sag.adila"o saw his wife's dead body. Now Sag.adila'^o also 

 killed his older wife. He cut her in two. Then he put a whetstone 

 between the two parts. They ground themselves into nothing. Then 

 he awoke the woman. He married her again. 



Now she had a child b}- him. It was a boy. He kept putting his 

 feet on his (the boy's) feet. By pulling he made him grow up. Now 

 he came to maturity. He made him a small canoe like his own, and 

 he also made a club for him like his own. When he plaj^ed with it in 

 the salt-water ponds it picked up small bull-heads with its teeth. 



Then the woman came to dislike the place. And she went to her 

 own place with her boy. So he came to his own country. And her 

 son married his uncle's daughter. Then he began to hunt. The name 

 of the town was Q!ado'.^ 



Now, after he had been hunting for some time, a white sea otter 

 came swimming about in front of the town. And he launched his

 and he told her not to let any blood get on it. So she did not leave 

 any blood on it.

 the blood of [any] menstruant women. He put them into a box. 



Then he started off. He [came to the place] where his wife had 

 passed in. Then he took twisted cedar limbs, a gimlet, and a whet- 

 stone. Where his wife had passed in he came to a kelp with two 

 heads. He went into the water there upon the kelp. Marten 

 remained upon the water behind him. 



Now he came upon a broad trail. He started along. He came to
