They all held what they ate in their hands.

They all ate very fast, and they ate a long time.

At last their hunger was satisfied, and they began to crack the marrow bones and scrape the marrow out with sharp sticks and bones.

When the men became tired of sucking the bones, they tossed them to the women and children.

Then the men joined in a hunting-dance while the women beat time with the bones.

The women chanted, too, as they beat time.

They danced until all became tired and the visitors were ready to go.

Then Firekeeper loaded pieces of meat upon the backs of the women, and all gathered around to see the neighbors start home.

As soon as they were gone the Cave-men prepared to rest for the night.
