500 her husband ^maxfiJag'iUs (IV 9), went last || out of the house, and 

 went aboard the canoe in which Yagwis (V 1) was seated. When | 

 all the Kwag'ul had gone aboard, they started, and went home to 

 Fort Rupert. | Late at night they arrived at Fort Rupert, and | 

 immediately aM the Kwag'ul went ashore into their | houses. When 

 5 dayhght came, in the morning, ^maxiilag'ilis (IV 9) invited || the 

 Kwag'ul to a feast in the house of his son ^nEmogwis (V 1), | for now 

 his name was no longer Yagwis (V 1), because it was no real | winter 

 dance. When all the GwetEla, Q!6moy§,^ye, | ^walas Kwag'ul, and 

 Q!5mk'!ut!ES had come in, they were given breakfast; | and after 



10 breakfast ^nEmogwis (V 1) took the copper || Looking-Sideways and 

 told the four Kwag'ul tribes that he was going to sell it. | At once the 

 chief of the numaym | G'ig'ilg&m of the Qlomoyi^ye, whose name 

 was ^walas, arose, and asked ^nEmogwis (V 1) for the copper. | 

 Immediately *nEm5gwis (V 1) gave the copper | to the chief 'walas. 



15 He took it, and said that he || would buy it for fourteen hundred 

 blankets. | When he stopped speaking, ^nEmogwis (V 1) thanked him 

 for what he had said; | and after they had finished talking, the 

 Kwag'ul tribes went out | before noon. Then Chief 'walas called to- 



20 gether the | four Kwag'ul tribes, to sit in the summer seat outside II of 

 his house; and when all the Kwag'ul had assembled, | ^walas asked all 

 the men to pay their blanket debts, and | immediately they paid him.
