Note 14 — Story of the House-point families

Then they (the people who were drowned) went and sat in front of Chief’s14 house. They begged him for a flood. He asked them to come in. They refused. The warriors started home and camped beyond Raven creek.15 The weather was calm. Toward evening two tidal waves rolled in out of the ocean. The first one came in and broke. The canoes with their skids even drifted away. The last one even washed away the trees by their roots. Half of the warriors were lost. And he (Burnt-forest) escaped along with his copper into the woods and carried it off on his back.
