had killed. | Tlipv never went to hide the bodies of those who had 58 

 been killed | in war. || 



They started back and went home before daylight came. | After 60 

 they had gone a long way, daylight came in the morning, and immedi- 

 ately I the warriors scalped the heads, for a southeast wind was 

 blowing, I and they carried two sails on each war canoe | in the way 

 they do when they go to war, for they never sleep when || the day is 65 

 favorable, for they change off, one-half of the crew going to sleep. 

 When the day is bad, | they carrj^ the war canoes up and put them 

 down away | back in the woods. They do not all sleep at the same 

 time, but some keep watch | for canoes which go paddling by, for 

 even if they should be relatives, | they do not take mercy on them in 

 war. They would kill whomever they might || see paddling by in a 70 

 canoe. Therefore, no | member of the tribes goes out paddling 

 when they know that warriors are traveling about. | 



When the warriors had been out eleven days, they came back | to 

 Fort Rupert in the morning, singing the war song as they were com- 

 ing in. I When they reached the beach of the house of Yag'is, the 

 bows II of the two war canoes heading in shore, Q lomogwa | stood up 75 

 and spoke. He said: "Now show yourselves, | Gwetela, Q !omoya^ye, 

 ^walas Kwag'ul, Q !omk' !ut !es, and | listen to me. I have come back 

 after going about to search for | those who were to die together with
