716 ETHNOLOGY OF THE KWAKIUTL (ETH. ANN. 35 
65 his soul goes traveling about; || and when it is near day, the soul 
comes back again and | sits on top of the head of the man. Then the 
man awakes | and gets up. If the soul of a man who is asleep goes 
too far away | and comes not back again, the man remains in bed | 
70 asleep and is dead. The time when this happens is when the || soul 
goes to another man and makes a mistake.” | Then I questioned her: 
“Where do the souls of | all those who are not twins and who are not 
sea-hunters go,—those of the common | people? Where do the souls 
go when the owner of the soul dies?’”’ Thus | I said to her. Then 
75 Yayax"yéga became angry and said, || “Don’t they always stay in 
the village not very far from the other end | of the village? and don’t 
they come walking about at night?” | Then she said, ‘I shall stop 
answering your questions. | It occurs to my mind that I have been 
the cause of anger for the Salmon and of the souls of the | dead ones, 
80 because I talk about it. I think they will come || to get me now and 
take me home.’ Then I said, “Are you going to die? and do you say 
for that reason | that you will go home?’ Thus I said to her. 
Then she cried, | and she said, “Indeed, I have done harm to myself, 
because I talked to you, | for I have divulged the ways of the | Salmon 
85 people.’ Now I was really in her disfavor, and she was || really crying. 
Then I left her. |
