Read me the token.

Padahoon

A vulture's feather and a bark of whenonabe. Defeat and flight.

Women

Ai! Ai!

(They throw up their arms in despair.)

Chief

They will not be far behind their arrows.

(All listen. A faint whoop is heard. Padahoon answers with his mouth covered with his hands. The rest of the women and children come out of the rocks. Fighting Men come clambering up the steep. They show torn clothing and streaks of blood. The women bring them the water-bottles as they drop upon the ground. Wacoba's husband, Pamaquash, with an arrow in his side, leaps once in air and drops dead. His wife sinks on the ground beside him, rocking and moaning. One breaks his unstrung bow across his knees and stamps the pieces in the earth. Finally comes Simwa, his war-bonnet bedraggled.)
