16 M^dilbc^ man at | Dzilwade at the place QaqetEn not more than 

 thirty years | ago; for the Madilbe^ have no hunting ground at 

 Dzawade. | It is said that a Madilbe' man whose name was 

 Q!oq lax'J.ala | saw two mountain goats walking about, not very high 



20 up. II He told hiswife to look after his canoe. He j stepped out of his 

 canoe and went up to where he had seen the two | mountain goats. It 

 wasnotlongbefore his wife heard a sound | like the quarrelling of men. 

 Then it occurred to his wife that | her husband had gone goat hunt- 



25 ing on the goat hunting ground of the numaym || G'lg'ilgSm, of the 

 AwalLEla, and she thought that her husband had been met j by them. 

 She never heard a shot fired by her husband, | and he never came back. 

 They looked forhim. and | they found him below. There was only a 

 lump of blood on the rocks, and they never j discovered who had 



30 done it. Often this is done by the goat hunters jl at Dzawade and 

 Gwa^ye, and in the inlet of the | Nak!svax'da^x"; and up to the pres- 

 ent day, it is \ery often done by the Awlk'enox!". j That is the end. 

 And it is also the same with the grounds for picking viburnum 



35 berries of the various I numayms, for each numaym owns || berry- 

 picking grounds for all kinds of berries: — crab apples, viburnum, | and 

 salal berries, for they make berry cakes out of salal berries. They eat 

 berry cakes when | winter comes, and also cranberries, elderberries,
