L!aqwag"ila (XIV 1). Then the former Llaqwag'ila (XIII 3) gave | 51 

 his seat to his son-in-law, for he had no son | to take his place: his 

 only daughter was his princess HameLas (XIV 2). | Then h laqwag'ila 

 (XIV 1) remembered what had been done by the chief of the II 

 Maamtag'ila, Odze^stalis, when he killed his father Helamas (XIII 1) . | 55 

 Therefore he told his crew, the ancestors of the Kwag'ul, that he | 

 would give away the marriage gift of his father-in-law, — the one hun- 

 dred mountain-goat | blankets, fifty dressed elk-skin | and twenty- 

 four black-bear blankets, and the six lynx || blankets. As soon as 60 

 he had given them away, | he said, "O Kwag'ul! now I have given 

 away this marriage gift, (given by) the | chief my father-in-law for 

 you, to my own tribe, tlie Gwa^sEla, | among whom my own fore- 

 fathers began with the first chief in the beginning, | Yac^alEnlis 

 (II 1), who gave to this country the name |i GweqElis; and now I go 65 

 home, O Kwag'ul! for am I not | ashamed of what has been done to 

 the chief, my father, Helamas (XIII 1), | by the chief who is named 

 Odze^stalis? Now, go home! and | I shall stay here with my wife, 

 HameLas (XIV 2)." Thus said | L!aqwag'ila (XIV 1) to his tribe 

 the Kwag'ul; and the Kwag'ul started at once || and went home, and 70 

 left L!aqwag'ila behind. |
