638 ETHNOLOGY OF THE KWAKIUTL [ RTH. ANN. 35 
After this she goes up the beach, not going fast as she goes up || and 
she enters her house and sits down on the floor, and she keeps quiet, | 
and eats alittlefood. She nevereats enough to be satiated, but eats a 
little food. 1tissaid that | the animals hunted by the husband of the 
hunter's wife do the|same way as she does, and the animals do not run 
about when they go about looking for || food, and the animals do not 
eat enough to be satiated. | 
If a sea-hunter hunts sea-otters and fur-seal, | the hunter’s wife (that 
is the wife of the hunter) always | lies down in her bed covered with a 
new mat. | The reason why the hunter's wife does this is that the sea- 
otter and the || fur-seal may be asleep when they are hunted by the 
husband of the hunter's wife. | 
The beloved wives of the land-hunters and sea-hunters do | what I 
have said, because, indeed, the land-hunter and | the sea-hunter get 
their game easily if their wives sit at home well. | 
If the wife of the land-hunter and of the sea-hunter is not experi- 
enced, || when she is a young woman who walks about all the time, 
she is not told by her husband | which way he goes hunting. She 
is generally | driven away by the hunter her husband when he comes 
home; for then he does not | get any game, which is hunted in vain, 
and the hunter is ashamed; | therefore he sends his wife away when | 
he comes home to his house. ||
