[BULL. 61 



When tlio water was boiling the meat was put into it, and tlie process 

 of cooldng was accomphshed without diniculty.' 



The wounded man was refreshed by the broth, and after making 

 him comfortable and cooking a quantity of meat, the war party left 

 him in charge of a young man. Eight days later another war party 

 passing that way found the wounded man able to travel. He and 

 his companion joined this war party and reached home in safety. 



As Eagle Shield, who gave this narrative, is a medicine-man who 

 makes a specialty of treating wounds and fractures, his account of 

 the man's injury was somewhat professional. He said the injury 

 was so severe that at first the bones protruded and buckshot came 

 from the wound for some time, after which the flesh began to heal, 

 and that in one moon and the first quarter of the next moon the leg was 

 entirely well. 



Eagle Shield said that on one occasion he was pursued by Crow 

 Indians as he was carrying with him a friend whose horse had been 

 shot. This incident is depicted in plate 68, A. 



The following song was said to have been sung at this time, but 

 the meaning of the words in this connection is not clear:

I The writer saw a cooking outfit of this kind prepared and used in a Sioux camp at BullHead, S. Dak., 

 on .Tuly 5, 1913. The stones were heated in a fire near the tripod, each stone beiujr lifted on a forked stick 

 and placed in the water. A blunt stick was used in pushing the heated stones on the forked sticks, and 

 a short stick was used for stirring the boiling meat. All these articles (shown in fig. 32) are now in 

 the U. S. National Museum, at Washington.
