MICHELSON. ] THE SINGING AROUND RITE. Syria) 
He always remembered his grandfather. As he was not fasting 
he accompanied those who moved. They were always afraid. 
Finally he began, to kill various game close by. And then he would 
run in a circle where they lived. Far off indeed was the distance he 
had explored so that he might peradventure see some (game animal). 
When he returned bringing game (?) they were much afraid. And 
he himself was unconcerned and not afraid for he had secretly explored 
far off. As he did not of course tell of it, they naturally did not 
know how he had been blessed that way. His former grandfather 
(now dead) only knew of it. 
(The people) camped here and there. And he did exactly the same 
(as he had done); he always knew (the country) far off. Well, once 
he surely saw a Sioux village located far off. Now he himself was 
seen by a single Sioux who was hunting. He halted in his running 
simply to see how (greatly) he was blessed. While he was walking 
along the other shot at him but did not hit him. Finally the other 
used up all (his ammunition). As he walked along very slowly the 
other began to run. When the other continued far off in flight then 
he went to attack him. In a short time he overtook him and killed 
him; then he took a scalp. Then he continued to look in a different 
direction so that he might perchance see where others lived some- 
where. Lo, others lived far off yonder, though few in numbers. 
Then he looked at wigwams (which seemed) different. When he 
went to look at them, lo, they were the villagers from whom they 
themselves came. When he went thither he greatly frightened them 
when they caught sight of him. When he arrived close they recog- 
nized him and fed him. ‘ Where do you live?”’ he was indeed asked. 
“Near by,” he said. Then he specified (the exact location of) where 
they lived. Lo, it was far off indeed. ‘‘ When did you start to come 
(here) ?” he was told. ‘‘To-day, very early in the morning,” he 
said, “‘and there is a Sioux village. One hunter shot at me there. 
Finally he made me angry; he shot at me too many times. I did 
nothing to him (yet) he began shooting repeatedly at me. If he had 
shot at me, say a couple of times, he would not have made me angry. 
Then I went to attack him and clubbed him to death. He began to 
flee after he used up all (his ammunition), such was the way he 
acted(?),” he said. ‘‘And this is his scalp,” he said, displaying it. 
Well, it issaid that they made preparations right away and began to 
flee, for of course he had told them the direction those Sioux were. 
And he himself departed. When he arrived yonder, he took with 
him (7?) a deer which he stopped to kill. After he had eaten he said, 
“There the Sioux live in a village. I saw one. He started things 
by shooting at me repeatedly; I did nothing to him,” he said. ‘‘T 
saw that fellow, and this is his scalp,’ he said. And lo, these also 
said, ‘‘Let us depart.” ‘‘Hey, I have not yet told all,” he said to
