SPEECH OF KIX CHE-ESS. 45 



made a motion with his right hand as if he were fanning his right ear ; this 

 repeated. He then extended his right hand with his index-finger pointing 

 upward, his eyes also being turned upward, — You told me of 'the Great 

 Father. Pointing to himself, he bugged both bands to his bosom, as if he 

 were affectionately clasping something he loved, and then pointed upward 

 in the way before described, — I love him (the Great Father). Laying his 

 right hand on me, he clasped his hands to his bosom as before, — I love you. 

 Placing his right hand on my shoulder, he threw it over his own right 

 shoulder as if he were casting behind him a little chip, only when his hand 

 was over his shoulder his index-finger was pointing behind him, — You go

 as a man steps in walking, each time letting his hand get farther from him 

 for three or four times, then suddenly placing his left hand in a horizontal 

 position with the fingers extended and together so that the palm was side- 

 wise, he used the right-hand palm extended, fingers together, as a hatchet,
