THE AWAITING OF THE LOST CLANS.

Now, when the people were rested and the children righted, they arose

and journeyed into the plain to the east of the two mountains and the

great water between them. Thence they turned them northward to the

sunrise slopes of the uppermost of the mountains. There they encamped,

mourning for their lost children and awaiting the coming, perchance, of

those who had fled away.
