They are, 1st. the Mequachake, 2d. the Chillicothe, 3d. the Kiskapocoke, 4th. the Piqua. When in council, one of these tribes is assigned to each of the four sides of the council-house, and during the continuance of the deliberations, the tribes retain their respective places.
"Do you think," said Kiskapocoke, "I would be such a fool as to go I don't know with whom, and I don't know where?" "See what I will show you," cried the man-fish. "Can you show us anything better than we have yonder?" asked the warrior.
Then Kiskapocoke said to his companions "Let us follow him, and see what will come of it." So they followed him, he swimming and they paddling, until night came. Then a great wind and deep darkness prevailed, and the Great Serpent commenced hissing in the depths of the ocean.
The people began to be terrified, and wished themselves on land, but the moment they tried to paddle towards the shore, some invisible hand would seize their canoes and draw them back, so that an hour's labour did not enable them to gain the length of their boat in the direction of their homes. At last Kiskapocoke said to his companions "What shall we do?" "Follow me," said the fish.
Kiskapocoke told the strange creature they wanted to eat and drink, and that he must supply them with what they required. "Very well," said the man-fish, and, disappearing in the depths of the water, he soon reappeared, bringing with him a bag of parched corn and a shell full of sweet water.
When the fishers had tried long and patiently, and taken little, and the sun was just hiding itself behind the dark clouds which skirted the region of warm winds, the strange creature cried out still stronger than before "Follow me, and see what I will show you." Kiskapocoke, who was the head man of the tribe, asked him what he wanted, but he would make no other answer than "Follow me."
