18 turns the end of the tube of kelp | towards the north, and he shouts 
again loud; and as soon as | he arrives at the ‘“‘wo,” he turns as long 
20 as his breath lasts, and || he puts the end into the sea. When his 
breath is at an end | he rises again and turns to the north. | After he 
has cried ‘‘wo’’ four times, he lets the piece of kelp sink into the 
water. | Then he takes his paddle and paddles. | He says: “Go on, 
25 paddle! for the one who has been invited is coming.” || Then they 
paddle. This belongs to the Kwagrul. 
1 This is also a means of calling Northwest-Wind of the KosKime— 
four | star-fishes. When the southeast wind is blowing, and | they 
wish it to turn into a northwest wind, a man | goes down to the beach 
5 at low tide | and searches for four star-fishes; and || as soon as he finds 
these star-fishes, he takes them from the beach | and puts them down 
by the side of the fire at the house. Then he takes red ochre | and 
daubs the four star-fishes all over with it. | As soon as this has been 
done, he takes cedar-bark and splits it; | then he takes four strips; 
10 then he takes one of the || star-fishes and ties a cedar-bark strip to the 
end of one of its arms. Now it is | hanging right over the fire. 
And he does the same to the | others. As soon as he finishes hang- 
ing them over | the fire, so that they may be smoked by the smoke,
