62 LaleliLla was the younger brother of Llaqwalal. | L'.aqwahil sent 

 his younger brother LaleliLla to | hunt seals at Salots'.a, which is 

 called Nomas. | He started from | LEx'siwe^, for it is said that the 



65 ancestors of the numaym LaS,lax"s^Endayu lived there. || The name 

 of the steersman of LaleliLla is not given. It was | evening when 

 they started for the island Salots'.a. The tide | began to run out, 

 and the canoe was being turned around Then | LaleliLla 

 warned his steersman, and told him not to be afraid, because | 

 sea-hunters are not afraid of anything. Then they saw many 



70 birds || gathering at the place where they were being gathered ahead of 

 the bow of the | small hunting canoe. Then LaleliLla and his steers- 

 man paddled quickly. ] Then they nearly arrived at (the place) 

 where there were ] many bii-ds gathered. Then the top of the front | 

 of a large house appeared from out of the sea. It was not there 



75 for a long time. The house came || out of the sea like an island. 

 This was the house of Qlomogwa | which was seen by LaleliLla. 

 Then he ran into the sea into the | door of the great house com- 

 ing out of the sea. Then LaleliLla told | his steersman that they 

 would go into the great house that came out of the sea. | The 



80 steersman said, "Go on. Just paddle." Thus he said. || Then they 

 paddled, gohig with the tide, which ran into the door of the great 

 house that had come up from the sea. | Then he went in with 

 his small huntmg canoe. I And it stood at the right-hand side of the
