BOAS] ADDENDA 1379 



came back from war, four young men, sons of the || warriors, were 45 

 sent outinto the woods to cutseven poles, | two fathoms long, and two | 

 with forked tops, a little shorter than the first ones, and also a | 

 young cedar tree, four fathoms long, and also | long, twisted cedar to 

 tie up the heads which had been cut off by the || warriors. The 50 

 young men were told to put them down | northeast of the fort near 

 to the houses of the white men at | Fort Rupert. | 



Then the four young men went into the woods behind the fort and 

 chopped I down what they had been told to get, and when they had 

 them all chopped down, they carried || what they had chopped down 55 

 and put it northeast of the fort; | and when they had brought them 

 all out, the warriors went to the fort and | made a frame to hang on 

 the heads which had been cut off. After they had made it, | the 

 warriors took the heads and | put them on top of the sharpened 

 poles. When all the || heads had been put on, after the scalps had 60 

 been taken off to be | dried by the owner in his house, then they 

 took I eagle-down and put it on the heads and | after they had done 

 so, it was called "cut off heads hung up." | Now they remained there 

 until they would fall down, || and they were seen by visitors froin | 65 

 the various tribes who came to Fort Rupert. |
