loaded their canoes with the crab apple-boxes | and the boxes of oil 



40 and the four house-dishes; || and when all were aboard, TslEndE- 

 ^Emg'i^lak" (IV 3) came out | of the house of her brother QlQmx'od 

 (IV 4) with her husband Sesax&las (IV 8) , and | she went aboard the 

 canoe of her husband Sesaxalas (IV 8). When | they were seated, 

 the Gwa^sEla paddled away, | going home to their village Gwek'ilis. 



45 As soon as they arrived || there, the father of Sesax&las (IV 8), 

 Llasotiwalis (III 11), told the | J'oung men of his numaym to clear 

 out the house, because he wished | a feast to be given at once by his 

 prince Sesax&las (IV 8), for he was proud of | the four house-dishes 

 which he had obtained in marriage. When the young men had | 



50 cleared out the house, they went to invite the numaym || G"ig'ilg&m 

 and the SisEnL !e<' and the young men of the | numaym Q!5mk' !ut!Es. 

 When they were all inside, they took ashore the | ten boxes of crab- 

 apples and the five boxes | with oil, and also the four house-dishes. 

 They | put them down inside the door of the house; and after they 



55 had || been put down, Chief Llasotiwahs (III 11) arose and | spoke. 

 He said, "Now, look at these, you two | nimiayms, GTg'ilg^m and 

 SisEnL !e* ! I went to marry Ts lEndEgEmg" i^lak" (IV 3) , | the princess 

 of Chief QlQmx'od (IV 4); and | by good luck I obtained these ten 



60 boxes of crabapples || and these five boxes of oil to be poured | over
