 lows, "Take him also." The}' said, "Take him there.'' The}^ had 

 nothing with which to kill the sea lions. Then they told him that the}" 

 would take him along. They said, "Take K.lha'sli there." It was at 

 that time that they gave him his proper name. They took him out to 

 the sea-lion island. Then he caught up two sea lions. The one on the 

 left he threw upon a Hat rock, but the one on the right he tore in 

 pieces. All kinds of strength came to the poor man to help him, and 

 his friends never beat him afterward. He never put on clothes in time
