Waxapa !alas6^, that ho had not yet shown his siipornatiiral treas- 

 5 ures; || "for I obtained as supernatural treasure the flooding-waters 

 and the cutting-off of | my hmbs and four dances; for I have for my 

 dance the | AwlloLEhal, and my first dance is Hayallk'EJal. | And 

 after I have finished the Hayahk'Elai, I turn into the | speaker 



10 dance; and when my song of the speaker dance is ended, || I turn into 

 the chief tainness dance; and when | the song of mj^ chief tainncss 

 dance is ended, then I sing my sacred song | of the war dance and I 

 turn into a war dancer; | and therefore my name is ^wilEnkiilag'ihs.' 

 Now 1 1 wish you would give a winter dance," thus he said to his father 



15 Waxapa lalaso^ " that ll I may also show my other great dance the | 

 hamsh^mts !es, that has a sacred room; and the name Nanogwis; and 

 the camiibal mask with | a man with turning top ; and his red cedar- 

 bark rings. I mean | that all my supernatural treasures should be 

 seen." Thus said ^wilEnkulag'ilis | to his father Waxap !alaso^. 



20 Immediately Waxap lalaso^ || told his prince to go ahead and to dis- 

 appear. I Now it was not known among the tribe what Waxp.'a- 

 laso^ and his | prince ^vvllEnktilag"ihs had said. Wlicn | night 

 came ^wilEnkulag'ilis lay down. It was not yet | near daylight when 



25 he arose and went to the river I| ^wag'Ela. Then he walked up the 

 river, and he wished to | arrive at its lake. He did not arrive there
