55 of Qalogwis." || Thus he said, and gave the rib of the copper to a | 

 man, and told him to throw it into the sea outside | of the village. 

 Thus he said to him. Then K !wamaxalas, | chief of the Haxwamis, 

 arose, and he sent a man | to get the copper named KwexanEm. 



60 Now he broke || it on account of Wag' ides, and he gave him the rib. 

 This was | given to Wag' ides. Then Wag' ides became a slave again | 

 after this. He could not get three large | coppers to break to meet 

 the other three; and he thought it best | not to go with his tribe 



65 when they were invited by the tribes, || because he was really ashamed. 

 Now ^maxulayugwa never became a true chieftainness. | 



The copper Lobelila that was broken on account of Wag' ides, is 

 worth I twelve thousand blankets; and | the copper Tslages, broken 

 by Tleqwap on account of W^ag'ides, | is worth nine thousand 



70 blankets; and || the great copper KwexanEm, broken by K!wama- 

 xalas on account of Wag' ides, | is worth eighteen thousand blan- 

 kets. I Now, Wag' ides could not get thirty-nine thousand | blankets 

 to buy three coppers | to meet those broken; and all the Kwag'ul 



75 were ashamed ll on account of what they had done. That is the end 

 of this. I 



I forgot this: that the eldest of the children of | Wag' ides and his 

 wife ^maxulayugwa died. She took the one next to (the eldest), | 

 and DoqwSyis put him into the numaym DzEndzEnx' q laj- o, | and
