sayalia and wliite temtemci and the koyemci and (70) all the katcinas 

 came hither. They went about searching. Thej^ called into all the 

 kivas. When they had been to all of them and fomid no one there 

 they came to his house. They called in. "He's not here. He has 

 gone far away." The koyemci came down. "We can't find him," 

 they said. When they had said this the sayalia stood on four ci'oss 

 marks (on the roof). Two of them (75) stood facing the east, the 

 other two stood facing the west. They turned around. Wlien 



they had made a complete circuit they called, "Bu is!" The 



earth shook. The second time they turned about. When they had 



made a complete circuit, "Bu ix!" they said. The walls of 



the house cracked. They turned around the third time. When 



thej' had made a complete circuit, "Bu ^is!" they said. (80) 



The house cracked nearly to the ground. The fourth time they 



tm-ned around. Wlien they had made a complete circuit, "Bu ■ 



ix!" they said. The walls cracked all the way down to the ground; 

 there in the fom'th room he was sitting. The koyemci said, "Look 

 in there, oiu- little friend is sitting %vi thin !" Thus they said. They 

 pulled him out. The katcinas came. They struck him. When 

 they were finished the white temtemci walked around angrily. 

 "Hoo — tem-tem-ci tem-tem-ci hoo — !" "Grandfather hurry! Hit 

 him hard! (85) We want to go!" Thus said the koyemci. Tem- 

 temci was angry. He was running around angi'ily. A long time 

 afterwards he came to where the boy was standing. He seized his

 and threw it up. It fell. He picked it up and again threw it up. 

 It fell. He picked it up and again thi-ew it up. It fell. Again he 

 threw it up. It fell. Then the koyemci used it as a Idck stick. They 

 came to the village of the katcinas. (90) Near by on an ant hill they 

 set it down. Then they went in. 



Meanwhile at Corn Mountain they buried Raiyu'ani's headless 

 body. By doing thus they made the Katcina society valuable. 

 Therefore, to any little boy who is initiated into the Katcina society 

 the katcina chief tells this story. Whoever foi-gets and talks of this 

 will be punished. Therefore these words are not to be told. (95) 

 You will be mindful of it. 



This happened long ago.
