220 THE PIMA INDIANS [ktii. ann. 26 



Wlion Eagle was away Earth Doctor climbed the cliO's to his 

 house, singiiig as he ascended : 



Up the cliff, steep and smuolli. 



Up the cliff, steep and snuioth. 

 Up the cliff, steep and smooth, 



Climbs Elder Brother. 

 With his shining power, 



Up the cliff, steep and smootli. 

 Up the cliff, steep and smooth. 



He climbs, step by step. 



He then carried on the following conversation with Eagle's wife: 



"Can tliisbaby talk?" 



"No; he doesn't say very much atul doesn't seem to know any- 

 tliing; he's too small." 



"Does Eagle ever sleep in the daytinio?" 



"No, not very often; but sonietinies, if I sit dowii with him and 

 scratch his head, he will go to sleep." 



"Do that next time I come." 



At that moment Eagle was again heard approacliing with a roar 

 that shook the mountain like a tree in the wind. He brought four 

 living men, wliom he threw from a distance upon the rock, where 

 they lay groaning for a time before breathing their last. Eagle 

 asked his wife if anybody had been there and she saitl no t)ne was 

 about. He declared that he smelled some one, but finally concluded 

 that he had been mistaken. After he liad eaten he lay do%\Ti, and 

 as she sang the following song and rubbed his head he (piickly went 

 to sleep: 



Haya yakahai yahai mo! llaya yakahai mo! 



I am sleepy, I am sleepy. 

 Haya yakahai yahai mo! 1 am sleejiy. 



When Eagle returned, the baby tried to tell him what had haj)- 

 pened, and his father mquired, "What made him say that? He 

 never talked that way before; besides, I smell somebody. Someone 

 must have been here." 



" No, nobody ; we have been here alone." 



Then in the form of a Ry Earth Doctor concealed himself among 

 the dead bodies that were corded up like wood and sang: 



Himovali! Die fly! Himovali! Die fly! 



1 shall sleep! I shall sleep! 

 Himovali! Let die! I am drowsy. 



I will sleep! Buzz-z! 



When he had gone to sleep she began to whistle. He awoke and 

 said : 



"What made you whistle like that?" 



"Oh, notliing; I was just playing with the baby; that's all."
