10. Starting in the morning, they went on up to Tatasky-anve. They did not sleep there.[13] But Umas-kwitšit-patše talked of war. He said: "When there is war, people are beaten and run away. Women are captured as slaves and pushed into the river." So they talked of what they would do. (2 songs.)
[13] Possibly meaning that they went past the place without stopping, but more probably that they made camp and spent the night there, and that Umas-kwitšit-patše talked to his people instead of letting them sleep.
11. Then they came to Hakutšyepe.[14] There they made camp. Then they saw a beaver's track, like a little boy's foot. They had never seen it before and thought it was a little boy. Umas-kwitšit-patše showed it to his people and they were afraid. In the morning they started. (10 songs.)[15]

[15] Thus the narrative. In subsequently indicating the number of songs relating to each part of the story, the narrator made no mention of Hakutšyepe and the incident there, but proceeded as follows: "On the way north, 4 songs. At Selye'aye-kwame, 4 songs. At Chemehuevi valley, 2 songs." There is no discrepancy, but different events and stages of the same part of the journey are specified in the two accounts. It must be remembered that the narrative is unusually condensed.
11a. They came to Selye'aya-ita, where they slept. Umas-kwitšit-patše told his people how brave he was, and how good his luck was, and what he had dreamed. (4 songs.)
12. They started up the river next day, came to Hatuṭve and slept there. (4 songs.)
13. They went on up again. (3 songs.)
14. That night they slept at Amaṭ-kyerekyere-kwitni.[16] (4 songs.)
