12 ETHNOLOGY OF THE KWAKIUTL [WTH. ANN. 86 
60 Ones, to protect us from danger, || that nothing evil may happen to 
us when we eat you, | Supernatural: Ones! for that is the reason why 
you come here, that we may catch you | for food. We know that 
only your | bodies are dead here, but your souls come to watch | over 
65 us when we are going to eat what you have given us || to eat now.” 
Thus he says; and when he stops, he says, ‘‘ Indeed !”’ | 
As soon as he stops speaking, they begin to eat, and | his friends 
also. eat. Then the man takes up | a bucket and goes to draw fresh 
water | to drink after they have eaten; and when he comes back, || 
70 he puts down the water that he has drawn, and waits for them to 
finish eating. | After they have eaten, the water is put in front of 
them, | and they drink. Then his wife | picks up the pieces of bone 
and skin and puts them on the | food-mat; and when she has them 
75 all, she folds || up (the mat) and goes to throw the contents into the 
sea; and | the guests only rub their hands together to dry off the fat 
from their hands, | for they are careful not to wash their hands, and 
not to | wipe their hands with cedar-bark. After they have done so, 
they go out. | 
Sockeye-Salmon.—The' name of the sun-dried salmon is also 
80 “sandy,” || and “place of cohabitation,”’ for it is caught in the upper 
part of the river; | therefore it is called “from the sandy ground,”
