the large box, aud they started away. | In the evening they arrived 7 

 at Tegfixste^ their | village, and immediately Llaqwag'ila (II 1) 

 disappeared in winter. | Then he gave a winter dance, and now 

 Llaqwag'ila (II 1) was a cannibal-dancer; || and the woman-slave 10 

 advised Llaqwag'ila (II 1) what to do, | and told him that the name 

 of the cannibal-dancer was Qamatsa; and | the songs were also sung 

 by the slave to the song-leaders of the Naklwax'da^x". | Indeed, 

 why should they not learn the songs of the | cannibal-dancer? 

 because they obtained it by kilhng in war, for it is more valuable 

 when II obtained in war than when obtained in marriage. When 15 

 Llaqwag'ila (II 1) had learned | the ways in which the camiibal- 

 dance was danced by the DalwiidEx", aud the songs, | he got excited 

 in his cannibal-dance. Then | they killed the woman-slave, and he 

 ate her, and | Llaqwag'ila (II 1) himself ate the whole slave. Then 

 he changed |1 his name, because he had swallowed the whole woman- 20 

 slave; | and after that Llaqwag'ila's (II 1) cannibal name was 

 Lawiok" (II 1). I 



After L laqwag'ila (II 1) had been cannibal-dancer for four winters | 

 (I shall hereafter call him Qamatsa (II 1), the | name which he 

 obtained in war from the chief of the DalwiidEx", whom he had 

 killed), II Qamatsa (II 1) still had for his wife Llaqwag'ilayugwa (II 2), 25 

 the Awik' !enox" I woman. |
