57 namely, Lalep!alas (VII 3). As soon as he stopped s]ieaking, | he 

 gave away the sixty blankets to the four | numayms; and after he had 

 done so, they went out. | Now his name was Laleplalas (VII 3), 



60 although he was only a young child of his father || GwE^ylmdze 

 (VI 2). Now Lalep'.alas (VII 3) had foiu" names, beginning | with 

 the first when he was born by his mother Qlexxala (VI 9). Now [ 

 Laleplalas was grown up. Then GwE^ylmdze (VI 2) said to his | 

 father-in-law Ewanux"dze (V 13) that he wanted to give a winter 

 dance; and immediately | Ewanux"dze (V 13) that he would pay 



05 the marriage debt to his son-in-law GwE^yimdze (VI 2). || Wlien 

 it was nearly winter Ewanux"dze (V 13) paid the marriage debt, — | 

 two hundred and fifty blankets, ten boxes of oil, | twelve boxes 

 of dried salmon, and twenty baskets with cinquef oil-root. | After 

 he had paid the marriage debt, | Lale])!alas (VII 3) disappeared, and 



70 GwE^yimdze (VI 2) gave a winter dance. He had || disappeared 

 for a long time, then he was caught. Then Laleplalas (VII 3) was 

 hamshamts'.Es. | Now his nanie was AmyaxElas5^ (VII 3). Now he 

 had five | names. Then they gave away two hundred and fifty 

 blankets | to the Q!omoyfi,^ye, ^walas Kwag'ul, and QlomkMutlEs. | 



73 Now, he did not give any to the GwetEla. After one |j whiter he 

 stopped bemg hamshamtslEs; and when | winter came again, he be- 

 came a member of the S])arrow Society. Now he had also a 

 name from his | grandfather Ewauux"dze for the secular season ;
