Note 14 — A raid on the Tlingit
Reading edition
A man of the Sg̣adji′goał lā′nas14 then stood near them, holding a gun. Two cartridge boxes hung from his side. They said he was a brave man. He said: “Tell me, Pebble-town people,15 what did the Tlingit do to the people of your family in former times? When the Tlingit formerly beat them every time why do you do this? I could do something to you for your foolishness. You might be shot to pieces.” And, when he aimed his gun, he pointed it at us. His name was Stᴀwa′t.
