and according to my promise. I promised to bring some one with 

 me and I have now fulfilled this promise." 



Then the man who was sitting down turned around and saw 

 Dekanahwideh and said : " Who is the man that has come with 

 you?" 



Dekanahwideh then said : " Look to your left and you will see." 

 Then he looked to his left and saw the man standing there; then 

 he said to the man (Hahyonhwatha) : " What are you doing 

 here?" 



Hahyonhwatha answered and said : " I am standing here beside 

 you because our minds are with you and are turned toward you, 

 for the Good Tidings of Peace and Power have now arrived. You 

 will therefore now see as you turn around in every direction the 

 columns of smoke arising." ^ 



Then the man raised his head and carefully looked around and 

 he asked: " Who will accomplish this, that the Good Tidings of 

 Peace and Power be propagated?" 



Dekanahwideh said : " Tomorrow in the day time the delegates 

 will come and approach you; then all things will be completed." 



Then the man said: " I shall wait until all the delegates shall 

 have arrived." 



Then Dekanahwideh said : " We must now return but we must 

 all meet again tomorrow." 



So Dekanahwideh and Hahyonhwatha went away and returned 

 again to the abode of the lord where Hahyonhwatha had been 

 lodging when Dekanahwideh called him out and when they had 

 arrived there the lord found out that Hahyonhwatha had returned. 

 Then the lord called him in and told him that the man for whom 

 they had been waiting had returned and said : " We are now ready 

 to answer your message." 



Then Hahyonhwatha said : " I am also now ready and I am 

 accompanied by my coworker." 



Then the lord answered and said : " You will now bring him in." 

 Then Hahyonhwatha called Dekanahwideh and he came in. 



Then the lord said : " The man for whom we have been waiting 

 has now returned and he has delivered his message fully and accord- 

 ing to our understanding it is the same as your message. We now 

 understand and we therefore have now decided to accept your 

 message." 



1 Smoke arises from settlements of people at peace with each other. The 

 tall column of smoke symbolized the establishment of the 'Gayanessha"gowa.
