Now," he hissed, "we can go down into the Tu Atzissi and get what we want." "What dost thou mean, Nacaytzusle ?" inquired the victorious Navajo.
"Go thou back to the hogan," whispered Nacaytzusle to him, "and tell the men to be there," pointing southwestward, "four days from now.

I will be there and will speak to them." The other nodded.
"Let us go," said he.
They moved off in silence without casting another glance at the dead.
Their direction was southwest.

They carefully avoided making the least noise; they spied and peered cautiously in every direction, shy, suspicious.

Thus they vanished in the forest like wolves sneaking through timber.
