At last she fluttered down to the ground, a few paces from the body, peeped slyly over to where it lay, and walked toward it with slow, stately steps and eager nods.

But something rattled in the distance; the bird's head turned to the east, and as quick as lightning she rose in the air and flew off with a loud, angry, "kuawk, kuawk, kuawk!" Two men are coming toward the spot.

They are Indians from Tyuonyi who came up in the course of the afternoon with bows and arrows.

They perceive the body, and the blood on it and around it.

Both stand still, terrified at the sight.
