 (III 13) ; and when | all the members of the Sparrow Society liad gone 

 in, they first sang for the cannibal-dancer ] his four songs. Next 

 came the frog-dancer, | and finally the thrower-dancer; and after all 

 the songs had been sung, || HoLelid (V 6) gave away many copper 85

After HoLelid (V 6) had finished hispotlatch, it was || reported that 95 

 Gwex'sesElasEme^ (III 13) was dead. Then they |'sent forNaplElE- 

 me^ (V 5), the younger brother of HoLelid (V 6), to take his seat, | for
