Then HvllEiikulag'ilis asked his father Waxap!alas6- | that his 



40 tribe should not go out of liis house for a while, and ll to tell him 

 when Head-Winter-Dancer approached Burnt-Point, | and that all 

 the men sliould hold their batons | in readiness to beat when he 

 should go up to the roof of the house. | Thus he said. Then Waxap !a- 

 laso^ sent a | man to sit outside the house, and to announce when ll 



45 Plead -Winter-Dancer should arrive at Burnt-Point. Then | ^wIIeu- 

 kulag'ilis gave instructions to his tribe, and said, "As soon as I | go 

 up on the roof, beat rapid time, and | continue to beat time until I 

 stop singing my sacred song. | And when I stop, you also stop beat- 



50 ing time ; for you will see || what will happen to our world and to 

 my great friend Head-Winter-Dancer." | Thus he said. He just 

 stopped speaking, when the one who was | watching Head-Winter- 

 Dancer came mto the house and | ssiid that Head-Winter-Dancer 

 was ah'eady near Burnt-Point. | Immediately ^wllEnkuJag'iHs went 



55 up to the roof of the house; || and wlien he sang his sacred song, his 

 tribe beat time | in the house; and these are the words of his 

 sacred song, which he obtained | from the thunderbird: ( 



"Burn them, burn them, burn them, you wlio burn the world! | 

 "Hail, hail, hail, hail, hailstorm is brought by you!" ||
