"What, what! Who can this be he is leading us to?"
He felt fearful, and was silent. Day after day they travelled on till
they came to an extensive plain, on the borders of which human bones
were bleaching in the sun. The leader said--
"These are the bones of those who have gone before us. None has ever
yet returned to tell the sad tale of their fate."
Again Mudjikewis became restless, and, running forward, gave the
accustomed yell. Advancing to a large rock which stood above the
ground he struck it, and it fell to pieces.
"See, brothers," said he, "thus will I treat those we are going to
fight."
"Be quiet," said the leader. "He to whom I am leading you is not to be
compared to that rock."
