ATTENTION.

This signal is generally made by producing one continuous column, and

signifies attention for several purposes, viz, when a band had become

tired of one locality, or the grass may have been consumed by the

ponies, or some other cause necessitated removal, or should an enemy

be reported, which would require farther watching before a decision as

to future action would be made. The intention or knowledge of anything

unusual would be communicated to neighboring bands by causing one

column of smoke to ascend.
