Lone Man said: 



When I found myself in danger, I remembered my dream of the riders in the 

 clouds and their promise to give me help. Therefore I painted my horse with streaks 

 of lightning and sang the following song. 



Before singing Lone Man made this prayer, which was recorded by 

 the phonograph: 

 Ake'' tiigka^ ^ila nita' olo^wag wagzi^ wek'suya ^a awa'Tiiya yir) ktelo'. 



( Translation) 



Again, great grandfather, one of your songs I have remembered and I shall now 



sing it.
