SO. I The reason why this happened is, that, when he was getting 



55 ready last night | to come, he quarreled with his brothers, || and he 

 killed Hox"hok"-of-the-Sky and Crooked-Beak-of-the-Sky | and 

 Grizzly-Bear-of-the-Door and Rich-Woman and Fire-Dancer and | 

 Begging-Dancer. These six were killed by Cannibal-at-North-End- 

 of- World; | but the others went out of our house in time — | Raven- 

 at-North-End-of- World and Tamer and the One-Who-Presses-Dowai 



60 and Copper-Sound-Woman 1| and Thrower. Now, we were just 

 three of us — | I myself, my husband, and my treasure, my child. | 

 Now I alone am ahve. It is on your account that my | husband 

 got into trouble, for my husband said that we alone were invited by 

 you; I and that was the reason why they became angry, because they 



65 said that you should have invited || all of us, fifteen of us who 

 were in our | house; but my husband did not get angry imtil they 

 said I that they had notbeen invited byyou. Now, all of them | were 

 following us; and they wanted to kill you and these three | j'oung 



70 men, and they wanted to eat you. Therefore my || husband killed 

 them; and the others went out alive, | but left their masks and their 

 red cedar-bark, which my | husband said would go to you." Thus 

 said Qux'Elal to her father | NEnwaqawa. |
