part of their company and could always call on them for help in time of need. [See 

 p. 170.] 



In my dream I found the enemy as they had described. I ran at him, thrust him 

 through with my spear, and was bearing him away when he was transformed into a 

 reed standing in the water. The same voices spoke again, hailing me as one of their 

 number and saying that ever after I would be able to do things which no ordinary man 

 could do, because I had obeyed them. They also told me that the frog must not be 

 harmed, as he watches everything in the water and has been given this peculiar 

 power. They told me a great deal about the creatures that live in the water, saying 

 they are taken care of, and water is sent them from the sky when they need it; there- 

 fore they should never be treated cruelly. 



The horsemen in the cloud then told me to look down at the earth and observe 

 everything on the land and in the water, and to consider them all as mine. The voice 

 also said, "The sacred stones will look upon you as a man whom they are to guard 

 and protect." Concerning this they taught me a song. 



Before recording this song Lone Man made the following prayer, 

 speaking reverently and in a low tone. His position before the 

 phonograph made it possible to secure a record of this prayer, which 

 was afterwards translated.

Great grandfather, again one of your songs I shall sing, listen to me. These you 

 required me to sing each day, and now, this day, I shall recall one.
