g-ila (II 6), II chief of the NoxuntslidEx", of Rivers Inlet. Now, | 20 

 they learned that the name of the princess of Llaqwag'ila (II 6) was 

 Alag' imil (III 10). | At once they made ready, and started | to go to 

 Rivers Inlet; and when they arrived there, they were invited | in 

 by Chief Llaqwag'ila (IT 6). Now, Amaxulal (III 1) saw || the 25" 

 sacred room of the cannibal-dancer at the right-hand side, | inside 

 the door of the large house; and when they were seated, | Amaxidal 

 (III 1) and his children, and his younger brother Yiiqoklwalag'ilis 

 (III 6), I were given crabapples to eat; but, before they began to 

 eat, I they took one spoonful of crabapples which || were the first to 30 

 be given to the cannibal-dancer, who was seated in his sacred room. | 

 As soon as those came back who had gone to give to eat to him first, | 

 they said, "Now K!wak'iyils has eaten. Let | the visitors whc 

 came to you, Llaqwag'ila (II 6), begin to eat!" Then Aniaxulal 

 (III 1), I and his younger brother Yaqok!walag'ilis (III 6), and his 

 crew, II ate. After they had eaten, Amaxulal (III 1) spoke, | and he 35 

 asked for the princess of Llaqwag'ila (II 6), | Alak' ilayugwa (III 10), 

 in marriage. Llaqwag'ila (II 6) told him at once to go ahead, | and 

 do quickly what he said. Now he gave as a marriage gift ten | 

 black-bear blankets, four marten blankets, || twenty-five dressed 40 

 elk-skin blankets, four lynx blankets, | and eleven marmot blankets. | 

 That is the number that was given in marriage by Yaqoklwalag'ilis
