52 Woman, (III 2) was with child. | She gave birth to a girl. Then | Yiiqo- 

 LElas(II 3) gave a name to his grandchild, and he named her | Gag'ao- 

 lElaga (IV 1) ; and it was not a long time before she gave birth to 



55 another child, || a boy, andYaqoLElas (II 3) gave him a name. | He 

 named him Ts!Ex^ed (IV 2). Then YaqalEnala (III 1) had two 

 children | with his wife. When G' ag' aolElaga (IV 1) grew up, | Yaqo- 

 LElas (II 3) gave his house to his son-in-law as a marriage gift. | The 



60 house was built with four steps all around, in the middle || of the 

 village of the Wlwaqe^, at Ts lEqulotEn. Now the house belonged to | 

 YaqalEnala (III 1), because now he had a son. This is according to 

 the I laws of the Legwilda^x". | 



Then YaqalEnala (III 1) announced that his princess might be mar- 

 ried by one of the sons of the chiefs ] of the tribes, that they should 



65 come and marry her. This was || reported to the Kwakiutl, who 

 lived at Qalogwis. | 



Immediately G"ayosdas (IV 3), chief of the numaym | SeuLlEme 

 called his numaym the SenL !Em to come into | his house. Then he 

 told his numaym that he would go now to marry — the princess of 



70 YaqalEnala (III 1) for he had taken the seat || of his father-in-law Ya- 

 q5LElas (II 3). Then liis numaym wore glad | on account of what he 

 had said. They all prepared that | day and went out of the meeting. 

 In I the morning, when day came, the ancestors of the numaym
