1380 ETHNOLOGY OF THE KWAKIUTL Teth. ann. 35 



67 This is called "pulling under." Some Indians call | this "kill to 

 die with the dead chief," the way this was done by NEqap lEnk'Em, 

 when he went to war | and killed the chief WaxEldEk", his wife, and 



70 his II two children, for the slave whom GwaxwaLEyig'ilis brought 

 along was the | daughter of WaxEldEk". | 



He only had as his crew the others who had been in war, those who 

 did not I know what killed Q!omox's^ala, his wife, and his princess; | 

 and WaxEldEk" and his crew were killed without cause. || 



75 The Sanetch never made war on the Kwag'ul, although the Kwag'ul 

 expected | that they would come to make war, and therefore the 

 warriors always kept ready | and did not sleep nights. They also did 

 not I kill any of the Kwag'ul who stayed in Victoria. | 



80 I forgot one thing about L!aqwamaga, the || wif e of G'exk'Enis 

 who was wounded. Three da3^s | after the warriors had left to go 

 to war, her breath-holding neck ring of seaweed became flabby. | 

 Therefore, Llaqwax'sa cried all the time. I have never | seen the 

 neck ring. This is the end. of the story about the war waged by | 

 NEqap lEnk'Em. ||
