The story about him who destroyed his nine nephews
[Told by Walter McGregor of the Sea-lion-town people.]
A town chief began letting his nephews have his wife.[1] Every time he led one away, and he never came back. He had them go and get an old dead tree which he said he owned, and they never came back from it. He let them [go after] bark and set a net for a cormorant which he said he owned, and they never came back. After he had done this way for a while, nine were destroyed.
