After that one of the Sg̣adjī′gua-ał-lā′nas31 in Masset, named Kiłtcꜝāñ, invited the people. And he had a dance. He pulled out ten slaves that he owned in a string [holding each other’s hands]. After they had taken home food one of the Middle-gîtî′ns32 named Łnē′kꜝî, shot one of the Cod-people in the arm from between the houses. Upon this his two younger brothers acted as if they were drunk. They killed there a chief, Gā′la. He belonged to the Ya′gun-gîtîna′-i.33 He did not die at once. He died afterward. His entire family shot at once at the house of the Cod-people. They killed two persons.
