HI ssKi.i.l SPEECHES 355 



WO rcai-hod a hlack water, where I snielled traces of the Apaches, who 

 had washed oil' their paint in this water. I cried when 1 thought of 

 the camp tires whose ashes now drifted to and fro on the winds. 

 Around that spot nn' imagination revolved four times, like the wind 

 twisting around an object. Wandering about I again remembered 

 what my mother tried to tell me. This is what one feels in the land of 

 the Apaches. 



My friend Co^'ote went toward the east to spy upon the enemy. I 

 relied upon him for information and assistance and put away my imagi- 

 nary fears. He looked carefully about and returned to tell me that 

 he had found the Apache tires. Then our party, with the courage of 

 fierce prediitory animals and raptorial birds, ran toward the enemy. 

 Nothing could stop us and we swept them away with scarcely any 

 resistance. AVe killed all and gathered up their property to return. 

 My trail was down a steep declivity and I reached home, slackening 

 speed onh' four times during the march.
