their opponents do not make a "double crack" in the meantime to 

 comiterbalance the first. The ''double crack" is mentioned in the 

 words of song No. 175, Bulletin 45. One side continues to hide the 

 bullets until the guessing side guesses correctly, after which the score 

 is counted. The guesser who holds the striking-stick in liis right 

 hand holds in his left hand the counting-sticks, at first 20 in number. 

 From these sticks each side receives the number to which it is entitled 

 by the score. When the counting-sticks wluch remain are three or 

 fewer in number the man holding the bullets does not guess, the 

 game depending on the player who holds the striking-stick. If the 

 marked buUet is under either moccasin at the end of the row and he 

 guesses right, the game is his; if it is under either of the nuddle moc- 

 casins and he fails to locate it, the game is won by his opponents. 



The score is complicated, depending on the position of the moc- 

 casin under which the marked bullet was hidden — ^whether at the 

 end or in the middle of the row, also on the number of guesses 

 requhed by the man with the striking-stick in locatmg the marked 

 bullet and on the agreement or disagreement of himself and his part- 

 ner in their choice. For instance, if the bullet is under one of the 

 middle moccasins and both guessers fail to locate it, the side which 

 hid the bullet adds eight counting-sticks to its score. If the bullet 

 is in the same location and only one guesser fails to locate it, the 

 score is six. 



At the conclusion of each game a stick about 10 inches long is 

 stuck into the ground at the edge of the blanket. The stakes are 

 settled after the playing of a number of consecutive games agreed on 

 in the beginning.
