wi-deh said, It is now very urgent for us to proceed on our journey to 
where this voice comes from. They then went and they had not gone very 
far when they came to a lake. Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh said, It is now 
left with you what we shall do, you have seen the lake and it is beside 
this lake where the man lives whose loud voice you have heard saying, 
A-soh-kek-ne——eh. 
De-ka-nah-wi-deh then said, There are two ways which we can 
pursue to get across the lake, and you can have your choice, we can 
take the boat which you see lying flat on the ground and paddle over 
or we can pass above the lake, and so get over it. De-ka-nah-wi-deh 
then said, That man whom you heard calling out in a loud voice is able 
to cause the boat to upset if he sees it, and the people to be drowned, he 
has ended the lives of many people in this way in the lake. 
Then Hah-yonh-wa-tha said, My choice is that we pass over above 
the lake. Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh said, It is best to approach this man 
from behind; the reason we should do this is that he has been so long 
impatiently waiting that it would not be wise to approach him from the 
front and it might cause trouble. Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh said, We 
shall therefore now proceed on our journey. They then went on their 
journey and arrived at the other side of the lake. They had not gone 
far when Hah-yonh-wa-tha saw the man sitting on a high knoll, where 
it was his custom to sit. When they arrived where he was sitting De- 
ka-nah-wi-deh stood on the right side and Hah-yonh-wa-tha on the left. 
The man had not yet seen them when he called again A-soh-kek-ne-—eh. 
Then Hah-yonh-wa-tha saw what this man was doing and as soon 
as the man called out in the loud voice the lake became very rough 
and troubled and great billows formed on its surface. Then De-ka- 
nah-wi-deh spoke and said, I have now returned and according to my 
promise, I promised to bring some one with me, and I have now fulfilled 
this promise. Then the man who was sitting down turned around 
and saw De-ka-nah-wi-deh and said, Who is the man that has come 
with you? De-ka-nah-wi-deh then said, Look to your left and you will 
see. Tnen he looked to his left and saw the man standing there, then 
he said to the man, What are you doing here? Then Hah-yonh-wa-tha 
answered and said, I am standing here beside you, because all our minds 
are with you, and are turned toward you, for the good tidings of Peace 
and Power has now arrived. You will therefore now see as you turn 
around in every direction the smoke arising. Then the man raised his 
head and Jooked around. Then he asked, Who will do this, that the 
good tidings of Peace and Power will be propagated? Then De-ka-nah- 
wi-deh answered and said, This is now complete. 
Then De-ka-nah-wi-deh said, Tomorrow (right in the daytime) the 
delegates will come and approach you, then all things will be com-
