[21] Near Fort Mohave.
[22] Probably meaning that Hīko or Haiko, white man, already possessed the idea of the boat.
[23] About eight miles below Needles City.
[24] Near Parker, Arizona.—Here it is the boat's floating level that widens the valley, whereas, just above, Mastamho tilts the boat to widen the river.
13. Avikwame mountain made from mud.—Now there was no mountain at Avikwame at that time. There was only a flat and the river. The people stood on the bank. But the water was not near them; as the water receded, it left mud. Mastamho took up some of this mud and let it drop. As it fell, he said: "Goloto," as little boys say when they splash mud in play. He did that repeatedly. He said: "Let it be higher, and let the river flow by it. After this mountain which I am making is dry, I will make a house for you: You will be in that."
14. Other mountains made.—Thus Mastamho made Avikwame. When he had finished it, he made the mountains west of the river, Satulyku,[25] Ohmo,[26] Mevukha,[27] Hatšaruyove,[28] Avimota,[29] and Avi-kwi-nyamaθave.[30] All these he made and named.
[25] Near Needles peaks, south of Needles City.
[26] West of Needles City.
[27] South of Ibex.
