“Norwan has gone with the two Tede Wiu brothers.”
“I don’t believe that!” said Norbis.
He sprang up, went around, and asked others. All said, “She is with the Tede Wiu brothers.”
At last Norbis went out, taking his people. They had gone into the house, but had not danced. They followed at his call. He went swiftly to the northwest to overtake the two brothers.
The dance was at an end. All started home. Daylight was near.
The two brothers did not go to Norwan Buli Hlut, which was farther north than Koï Nomsono. They kept the woman at their own house till morning. When they reached home each of the brothers said,—
“My people, be ready for a great hunt at daybreak.”
When daylight came the elder brother said,—
“Come, my people, we will eat together. You must all eat with me this morning.”
While eating they heard shouts on the west bank of Bohema Mem, and soon they saw two men running toward them,—men finely dressed, with plumes on their heads. The men crossed the river, and came to the house of the Tede Wius. They were the Wul Wuhl brothers.
