 ^stalis (III 5) took a carved box and | carried it ashore himself out

 power has gone into the house | of my son-in-law;" and when he 

 said so, he turned towards the Kwag'ul, and || said, "Now, take 300

 which I have taken into your house. Now piu-ify for its sake!"

 eat. I When the}' had all gone ashore out of then canoes, they
