Body. They were trembling, and (the cannibal-dancer) came ina| 22 

 squatting position out of the mouth of the Head-without-Body. 

 After he had come out, | the mouth of the Head-without-Body 

 closed; and the hamshamtsles went right on !| and took the right 25 

 arm of Xaxosen&so^, and bit a wide piece out of it. | Xaxosen^so^ never 

 moved. And when | the piece had been bitten out by the hams- 

 hlimtslEs, the latter went back, | uttering his cannibal-cry, "Wip, 

 wip, wip!" as he went back into the mouth of the Head-without- 

 Body. I Now the hamshamtslEs had gone back into the mouth; 

 and II as soon as he had gone in, the Head-without-Body disappeared. | 30 



Then Xaxosenaso^ heard some one back of him spealdng, and | 

 saying, "O friend Xaxosenaso^ ! now you have obtained as your 

 treasure what you have seen, | the hamshamtslEs, and the name 

 One-Man-Eater, whenever you show | this; and the front of the 

 sacred room out of which he came is the head of our world, |1 the 35 

 Head-without-Body; and you will do among your tribe what was 

 done ! by One-Man-Eater to you when he bit you, for you will eat 

 human flesh, j Now spit on your right arm, and press down the 

 place I bitten by our friend One-Man-Eater, then it will heal up," 

 said the one | whom he heard. Xaxosen&so^ never saw who was 

 speaking. || He went at once into the i-iver to wash, and | after he 40 

 had done so, he sat down under the branches of a ] cedar-tree.
