10 iind II when the song with slow time-heating is at an end, Nanogwis | 

 just sits down on the floor of the house. He does not wear the 

 cannibal-mask, for he | has on his head the flat head-ring of red 

 cedar-hark, and his | neck-ring is also of flat cedar-ltark. As soon as 

 the song-leaders sing the other song | with slow beating of time, he 



15 dances. When || that is at an end again, Nanogwis sits down on the 

 floor of the house; and when | the song-leaders sing the last song 

 with slow beating of time, | Nanogwis arises and dances again. He 

 dances | as he is going toward the sacred room with the Head- 

 without-Bod}^ As soon as | he reaches it, the mouth opens, and 



20 Nanogwis goes into the il mouth of the sacred room with the Head- 

 without-Body. And as soon as he has gone in, | the mouth shuts.

 and his neck-ring of hemlock-branches, and when he | dances to a 

 song with fast beating of time and with one | song with slow beating 

 of time. As soon as the song with slow beating of time is at an end, | 

 the hamats !a never tries to dance, for he pretends that he is not | in 

 his senses. He has many attendants who try to hold him when he is 



30 running about. Ii Therefore the speaker of the winter dance-house |
