“I agree,” said Katkatchila. “I will go in the morning.”
Tsaroki went home in the night, and told the people that Katkatchila would come on the following day.
“What shall we do?” asked they.
“First, we will dance one night,” said the chief; “then we will take him out to hunt and see how he kills things.”
Katkatchila had a sister; she had a husband and one child. She never went outdoors herself. She was always in the house. Nobody ever saw the woman or her child.
When Katkatchila was ready to start he told his sister that he was going, and said to his brother-in-law: “I am going. You must stay at home while I am gone.”
The sister was Yonot. Her husband was Tilikus.
Katkatchila came to a hill up here, went to the top of it, and sat down. From the hill he could see the camp of the people who had invited him. He stayed there awhile and saw many persons dancing. It was in summer and about the middle of the afternoon. At last Katkatchila went down to where they were dancing, and stopped a little way off. Torihas, who was watching, saw him and said,—
“Come right over here, Katkatchila, and sit by me.”
Olelbis was looking down from Olelpanti at this moment, and said to the old women, “My grandmothers, I see many people collected on earth; they are going to do something.”
