Translation. 



A youth at Clatsop was sent to bathe at Xakot; a't. After five days 

 he returned, going along the beach. In the evening he approached 

 Clatsop and came around the point. Then he looked landward and 

 saw many canoes lying side by side. " Where did these canoes come 

 from?" he thought; "I will turn back." He was going to turn back, 

 then many people pursued him. The beach was full of people. He 

 looked in the direction where he wanted to go. Now there also the 

 people went down to the beach. They cut him off and he was sur- 

 rounded. They all held spears in their hands. They threw the spears 

 at him. He jumped up and they missed him, the spears passing below 

 him. "Ha, ha!" said the people. They threw their spears again and 

 aimed higher. He stooped and they missed him, the spears passing 

 above him. Again the people said "Ha, ha!" Now he jumped right 

 through them and escaped. They pursued him. They threw spears 

 at him, but he jumped high. He escaped and arrived at Clatsop. The 

 youth had no mother and no father; they were dead. He lived with 

 his grandfather. Now it was evening when he came back to Clatsop. 

 The Tillamook stood there and were dancing. " What are you doing?" 

 he said. "Take your arrows. We shall be attacked. The beach is 

 full of people. Make yourselves ready." " Eia, he lies," said the peo- 

 ple. "He wanted to see the ghosts and became frightened." Then the 

 youth said to his grandfathei', "Take your blanket. Let us go inland 

 and hide ourselves." Then he and his grandfather went inland to hide. 

 Now the Tillamook danced. At midnight they lay down. When the 

 dawn of tlie day approached, an attack was made on the village. The
