which he threw on the fire in the middle of the house; he took the 
many | blankets that were to be wrapped around her, and threw 
them on the fire in the middle of the house. Two kinds of things | 
were put on the fire by the other shaman. Then he was asked by the 
great shaman to stand in the house. | And Qasnomalas took the cloth-

the middle of the | house, singing his sacred song and swinging his 
rattle, while all the | men were beating fast time. When he came to 
the place from which he had started, | he sang his sacred song and 
threw the clothes on the fire in the middle of the house. | Then he 
took the dish with the sweet food, and put it on the | fire in the mid-

only | continued beating fast time, those who beat time for the great 
shaman Qasnomalas; for | all the men are called time-beaters-for-

Then | the time-beaters of the shaman stopped beating fast time. 
Then | the other shaman who was standing there began to speak, and 
said, ‘‘ Now let her who is being restored sit up, || that my friend may 
put her soul back into her.” Thus he said, and the shaman made the
