BOAS] FAMILY HISTORIES 1025 



everything was aboard the canoes, | Niinagwas (III 1) and his wife 

 WawalaxElag' i^ak" (III 6) came. || She was carrying on her back the 80 

 copper Causing-Quarrels. And behind them came the father (II 1) of | 

 Nanagwas (III 1), Sesaxalas (II 1), singing his sacred song of the 

 secular season. | And they came down to the beach of ^memkiimlis. 

 Then they | went aboard the canoe of Nanagwas (III 1); and when 

 aU were aboard, | the canoe started, going || home to the viUage 85 

 Teguxste of the Naklwax'da^x". | Then Nanagwas (III 1) said that 

 he would give a feast with the oil and | the viburnum-berries to his 

 tribe the Nak !wax' da^x". After they had stayed there for one night, | 

 the numaym of Nanagwas (III 1) went out to get fire-wood for the 

 f easting-time; | and after they had gathered fire-wood, in the morn- 

 ing, when day came, || they invited tlie four numayms — the G' exsEm, | 90 

 SisinLle^, and the TsetsEmeleciala and the TEmltEmlEls; for | 

 Nanagwas (III 1), chief of the numaym ^walas, was host. | As soon as 

 the four numayms were in the | house of Nanagwas (III 1), — the name 

 of the house was WadoltsEm, — || they poured the viburnum-berries 95 

 into the house-dishes, two | boxes into each house-dish. And two 

 of them I were not used. Then one | box of oil was taken and 

 poured on the dishes of viburnum-berries; | and after this was done, 

 they gave the double-headed serpent house-dish to the numaym || 

 G'exsEm, and they gave the wolf house-dish to the | numaym 500
