At once Xaxosenaso^ started aud went up | the river. After he 

 had been gomg up [some time], he saw a || large bird sitting on the rock. 65 

 As soon as he saw it, he remembered | what the man had said to him 

 when he said to him, "Go ! | You will not go far before you see your 

 treasure." i Then Xaxosenaso^ started, and stood near the | thun- 

 derbird that was sitting on the rock. Then the il thundorbird first 70 

 spoke to him, and said, " O friend ! why | do you come here walkmg ?" 

 And I Xaxosenaso^ said at once, "I came to obtain you, Great- 

 Supernatural-One, as a treasure." | Thus he said. Then the thun- 

 derbird called Xaxosenaso^ to come | to him. He went there at 

 once; and II the thunderbird said, "Come and sit among the [ 7-'J 

 feathers of my wings, that we may go and see our world !" Thus he 

 said. I Xaxosenaso^ at once went up to the wings | and sat among 

 the feathers at tne base of the wings; | and when Xaxosenas5^ was 

 seated among II the feathers, the thunderbird flew up. Then | 80 

 Xaxosenaso^ was asked by the thimderlnrd to look at | ever3'thing 

 that was going on where they were going. | Xazosenaso^ did so. He 

 kept in mind the strange things that ] he saw ever_ywhere. After 

 four days they came II back. Then the thunderbird sat dowTi on 85
