Analysis. — This song contains only the tones of the minor triad 

 and fourth. UnUke the preceding song, from which the minor third 

 was entirely absent, that interval constitutes about one-third of the 

 intervals in this song. The fourth is also prominent in the melody. 

 Exactly two-thirds of the intervals are downward. Except for the 

 accented B the song would be classified as harmonic in structure. 

 The form of the melody is simple, the song begmning on the octave 

 and twice descending to the tonic along the intervals of the tonic 

 chord. 



In conclusion Old Buffalo said: 



We found the direction in which the Crows were traveling, went around, and headed 

 them off. It was almost dark when we approached their village. They were camped 

 in a circle. The afterglow was still in the sky and this light was back of us as we went 

 up a little creek from that direction toward the village. We could see the cooking 

 fires. We were on horseback, and we lay flat on our horses, leaning close to the 

 horses' heads. So we crept near to their horses.
