eight baskets of smoked mountain-goat meat wMch he had men- 



95 tioned, and || two baskets containing mountain-goat tallow, and | also 



the box containing the privileges. They brought them and put them 



into ^maxwa's canoe. | As soon as they were aU in, ^maxwa arose | 



in his canoe and thanked his father-in-law Llaqwag'ila (I 2) for what 



he had done. | As soon as he stopped speaking, they started, and he 



200 came || home with his wife to TegOxste. As soon as he arrived, | 



^maxwa (II 1) asked his father, Amaxfilal, to | call in the five num- 



ayms of the Naklwax'da^x" in the | evening. Then Amaxillal (I 1) 



went to call them. He did | not call them loud, but he whispered, as 



5 he II went and sat down by the side of each man. It was not | long 



before they came in; and when all were inside, | ^maxwa asked his 



father to bar the door of the house. | Immediately ^maxwa arose 



and reported what he had obtained | for his tribe; namely, the four 



10 dances which were in the privilege-box, || and also the other things. 



" Now, I want you to | consider whether I should not give a winter 



dance." Thus he said. | Immediately all of them agreed to what he 



said, and he gave a winter dance. | Then he showed the four dances 



which he had obtained in marriage | from the Awlk" !enox". Now the 



15 name of ^maxwa (II 1) was Llaqwag'ila. || He gave a feast with the 



dried goat-meat and the tallow of the | goats. |
