told him. For this reason the old man killed the chief with his own 

 arrow. At this time the woman went up to the woods with her 

 daughter. And now the two alone saved themselves. Now some- 

 thing helped her. The sun's son married her daughter, and her 

 daughtei' had children. There were eight, one of which was a girl. 

 Then a house was made for them and food and provisions were put 

 into it. They were let down on Gitli'kc, their grandfather's to\\n." 

 "That is the way your grandfathers have been. There were canoe 

 loads of trouble around you. Now, however, these grandfathers of 

 yours have been lowered down like the sun's children. Your food 

 was burnt through the trouble, you have had. The hard times they 

 had at Gitli'kc are the hard times you have been having on account of 

 your troubles. Now your grandfathers have made war clothes for 

 you. They have done like Old-man-who-knows-all-troubles. Now 

 your grandfathers have put their raven hat on your. head. They have 

 put all your grandfathers' emblems around you like a fort to save 3'ou. 

 And your grandfathers who have gone will seat themselves around 

 you. These, your grandfathers' people, will gather around, and they 

 will raise up these emblems to console you. It has been raining upon 

 you so that you could not lind a dry place. Now, however, your 

 grandfathers have put the raven ])oards over you. Finally you are 

 in a dry place. You will sleep well under them, grandchild. This 

 is all.""
