great house that had come up from the sea. | Then LaleliLla saw 83 

 four house dishes standing in the rear | of the great house that 

 had come up from the sea, one a whale dish, || and one killer- 85 

 whale dish, and one sealion | dish, and one seal dish. Then | La- 

 lohLla heard what they said. "Now you have obtamed as super- 

 natural treasure this house that has come up from the sea, | 

 and these four house dishes. Now go on, and club these sea-otters 

 as your | supernatm-al treasure." Thus said what was heard by 

 him. Immediately LaleliLla stepped out || of his little canoe. He 90 

 clubbed the many sea-otters that were crawling about on the 

 floor I of the house. As soon as his small canoe was full, he went 

 aboard. | Then the sea began to flood the house, and the | little 

 canoe of LaleliLla floated. Then the great house that had come 

 up disappeared, | and the canoe just floated on the open sea. || La- 95 

 leliLla went home to his village at LEx'siwe^, his canoe full of 

 sea-otters. | Then he reported to his elder brother Llaqwalal that a 

 large house coming up from the sea had been seen; | that they 

 had gone in, and that he had heard them | saymg. "Now you 

 have obtained as supernatinal treasure this house that has come 

 up, and these four | house dishes. Now club some of these sea- 

 otters here, for you obtained them as supernatural treasures. 

 Thus said what I || heard," said LaleliL!a to his elder brother L'.a- 100 

 qwalal as he reported to him. | Now he gave what he had ob- 

 tained by good luck, the sea-otters and the four house dishes, |
