and called all the women and the| virgins, and when they had come, the || 
old man spoke, and said, ‘‘ Listen why I | call you, women. Isuppose 
that | you all keep your napkins. I wish that you, who are menstruat- 
ing, | and you, virgins, burn your napkins | around the great Q!égéd, 
who has a supernatural treasure.’ Thus he said. || And immediately 
the menstruating women took off their cedar-bark napkins, and | put it 
down on the floor of the house. And others who were not menstruat- 
ing went out of the house | to get their napkins which they kept. | 
When they had brought all, the | men and the women and the virgins 
went out. || They were going to try to catch Q!éegéd; and | when 
they came to the place where he was standing on the beach, they 
surrounded him. Then they put fire | to the cedar-bark napkins 
of all the women; and when the fire began to smoke, | all the men 
and the women sat down. | Then the smoke of the fire went to- 
wards Q!égéd, and his || fire-bringer and death-bringer disappeared. : 
Then Q!égéd spoke, and | said, “Arise, and let us go home, for | 
you have made me secular.’ Thus he said. Now, Q!égéd had 
been brought back | by this. As soon as he went into his house, 
he | told them that the wolves had gathered all the pieces of his 
body, || as they had been thrown away by four grizzly bears.
