And this is what I now talk about, the ancestors of the married 



10 couple II Wanuk" whose name was Wag' ides, which name he obtained 

 from I Qlwalax'alayugwa, and his illegitimate wife ^maxtilayugwa. | 

 I only wish you to know that Wag' ides probably thought that you 

 considered him a real | chief. This is called by the Indians " a-newly- 

 made-chief," | hke Wag' ides in the numaym Elgiinwe^ || 



15 When we came back to Fort Rupert Wag' ides went into his house, | 

 and he said at once that he would buy oil with | the money that he 

 had obtained, paid by you, Dr. F. Boas. Then he gave a grease | 

 feast to all the tribes, and now his wife ^maxiilayugwa | gave him the 



20 marriage name KwakTjx'Mas for the feast name of her || husband 

 Wag' ides. Now, ^maxulag'flis, | the chief next to Llaqwalal, chief 

 of the I numaym Laalax's^Endayo, became sick. Now, he had the 

 copper Lobellla. | Wag' ides always took care of him; and when he 



25 became very | sick, Wag' ides took the chief ^maxulag'lhs II into his 

 house. At once ^maxiilag'iUs said to | Wag'ides, "You make me 

 glad, because you take pity on me, because you | come and do good 

 to me. If I should die quickly, | only take this my copper Lobellla, 

 and seU it, and | invite again all the tribes." Thus he said to him in 



30 the morning. || And when night came 'maxulag'ilis died. | Wag'ides 

 also obtained by good luck the copper Lobellla. Now, | Wag'ides
