13 men as the bright salmon swimming about, | Lalep !alas was asked 

 to stand downstream from the place where the bright | salmon wag 



15 sw immin g about. He had not been standing there long when || 

 Lalep !alas saw a very bright salmon. Immediately he | threw his 

 spear and hit it. He took it and went home | to his house. Before 

 he got to his house he felt \ like giddy, and he just hid the salmon | 



20 and went to his house, and before long he was very sick. || When he 

 arrived in front of his house, he just | sat down; and there it was 

 seen by his wife, ^na^nEmp lEng'Uayugwa, | that her husband was very 

 sick. Therefore | she built a small hut over him. And when they 

 finished the house for the sick man, the ancestors | of the numaym 



25 LCLEged went to see their chief Lalep !alas. || Their chief was hardly 

 aUve. Then Lalep !alas heard | a canoe coming to the beach in 

 front of the sick man's hut, and he heard | a man say, "Go to him 

 and let our ] friend come." Thus said what was heard by the sick 

 Lalep !alas. Then the one who was sent said, j "I can not go to 



30 our friend for || many are watching him." Thus he said. Then the 

 man who had | spoken just said, "Just come aboard the canoe. 

 Let me | go and pull him out." Thus he said. Then the man 

 stepped out of the canoe, and | went into the sick man's hut where 

 Lalep !alas was lying down . Then he took the | soul of Lalep !alas,
