 been unable to ^ct away from Port Simpson house, whence the}' came. 

 Before he could ask for Idood money tiie (iitt'ns's-servants came there, 

 witli paddles on their shoulders. They said that they had come to o-o 

 to war for him. 



Some time aftei'ward a ^reat many Masset people went to trade. 

 They came to the GyinxAno-l'o-^' family. They say that there were 

 sixty canoes. After they had been there for a while they started off. 

 And, after they had traded, a Tsimshian shot at the canoes. The bul- 

 let then struck the canoe of a man of the Point-town family'" named 

 X.A'na. 



His son then seized a gun and shot into a crowd standing on shore. 

 And he shot one down. They at once shot after them. They imme- 

 diately started off. The Tsimshian chased them. They made them 

 upset by shooting. They also destroyed them. They took them also 

 for slaves. They also enslaved many of the Rotten-house people.'^ 



At that time the}' destroyed a canoe at Laxane'sti* out of which two 

 men and a woman escaped. Many nights afterward, when some per- 

 sons came there for wood, they got away in their canoes. And in 

 them they came across. They were saved. 



Those in Port Simpson house who could not escape were afterward 

 presented with a canoe by the Iron people,''^ who let them escape. 

 Those also got home. Then, too, it was not a good time. 



Gitqona'-i\s father went to Masset, and tive families ''' banded together 

 and began to drink sea water. During the whole time they practiced 

 how they would tight. A cartridge box then caught tire, and a man 

 was burned. 



After they had drunk sea water for six nights they set out to war 

 in ten canoes. And, when the}' reached the mainland, some stopped at 

 Qlado'.^' After they had looked for enemies on the opposite side as 

 well, [they saw] two canoes go out from Siwa'lins '^ after saliuon. 



They then quickly pulled toward them. They shot the man in the 

 stern, so that he fell over into the water, after which they closed with 

 the canoes. When they ran into then) to tight they upset them. 

 They then even struck them in the sea. Gi'tg.ax.i'liiia killed three 

 people at that time. The Tsimshian had killed his wife, of whom he 

 was very fond. Four persons were in the canoe. They also destroyed 

 two canoe loads which were farther oft'. 



After they had watched for a while longer [they saw] three more 

 canoes sailing along. They killed all the people in those. They took 

 the heads of them all. After they had watched for some time longer 

 two canoes came with sockeyes. They went out also to those people 

 and killed them. On that day they destroyed seven canoes. On that 

 day they killed twenty-eight people. They enslaved one brave man 

 of the Tsimshian.
