And those who had gone to fight went out again the next year to fight on account of South-east. At that time they did not know where they (the Ninstints people) lived. After they had gone along for a while they came to a reef lying out from the mouth of a strait.
There Smoke got off. When he looked seaward he dropped to the ground. He did so, because he saw fishing canoes.
On that day they had given to Kiä′nskina-i[24] the white part of a halibut. That was why he was out fishing. They at once went out from Kꜝîl[25] toward them, and they destroyed the people. Among others they killed the chief. They then seized Hemlock-bark-scraping-knife on the water. “Hemlock-bark-scraping-knife, when the [[412]] chief was chased, did you not stop them?” “No,” he said. And they struck him on the lips with the short sinker strings that they held. They killed him with them.
