Next to him comes } his wife, who carries on her back her clam- 
digging | basket, and in it is her berrying basket. | In her right hand 
she carries her paddle and her digging-stick; | in her left hand, her 
mat and her bailer made of || a large horse-clam shell, which she uses ‘ 
when digging clams; | and an old mat is spread over her back. Both 
of them, | she and her husband, wear belts. The | three go out, fol- 
lowing one another,—first the man who spoke, | next, the father of 
the twins, and last the mother of the twins. || Then they come walk- 
ing along, and stand | outside the door of the house, and when they 
stop walking, | all the men stop beating time; and that | man, the 
only one who speaks, addresses them, and tells all | the people that 
the parents of the twins will not obey the taboos, || and that they will 
continue to work as they used to do before, and that for this reason | 
they: have come in their working-dresses. Then he | promises a pot- 
latch to his tribe. | 
Immediately he gives away blankets to his tribe; | and after this 
has been done, || the man and his wife, the parents of the twins, are 
at once allowed to work, when she gets strong enough to work. | 
Now this is ended. |
