While the Kwakiutl were trying to rear- range the fire, T'et'esumx-tsana, uncle of the Na'q'oaqtoq pa'xala, ran around the fire shouting "naualakwai'!"^ drawing the word out as long as his breath would allow. As the people left the house, the noise subsided, although the members of the seal society continued to rave in the house.
After a while the Koskimo returned into the dancing house, four men going first, each carrying a staff held in a horizontal position, and each singing his own song.
Th...ey were Wina'lag'ilis. They led a young girl, who wore a head ring. She was just initiated into a secret society.* Then two of the speakers spoke at the same time. So far as it was possible to make out what they said, they spoke about as follows: "This girl has been the game of Wina'lag'ilis, who is hunting novices.^ They led her around the fire once and guided her behind the curtain. While she was going around the fire, the Na'q'oaqtoq pa^xala pointed his staff at the Koskimo. This, it is said, meant that he would kill them if they did not bring a novice.
