What do you think of it, sa nashtio ?" "Many will go to Shipapu to-day," the Chayan muttered.
"What shall I do?
Speak!" Tyope insisted.

The last words of the shaman frightened him.
The Chayan gave no immediate reply, but sat musing in a manner indicating that his thoughts were with Those Above.

At last he raised his head and replied,-- "We must wait until the sun stands in the sky." Tyope suppressed a sigh.

However much he attributed this answer of the shaman to inspiration from those on high, it appeared to him dangerous.
Tyope felt very uneasy, but he was no coward.

In case the worst had really happened, if the Tehuas had anticipated and surrounded him, he still inclined to the conviction that concentration of his forces and a rapid onslaught on the foes in his rear would not only save him, but secure a reasonable number of coveted trophies.
