The snow continued falling all that day and the following night, so it was impossible to track them. They had now walked for several days, and Mudjikewis was always in the rear.
Then taking an ax which she had, she cast it up into the air, crying out, 'Brothers, get up from under it, or it will fall on you. This she repeated three times, and the third time the brothers all arose and stood on their feet. Mudjikewis commenced rubbing his eyes and stretching himself.
'Brothers, said he, 'this will be the way I will serve those we are going to fight. The leader answered, 'Slow, slow, Mudjikewis, the one I lead you to is not to be thought of so lightly. Again he fell back and thought to himself: 'What! what! who can this be he is leading us to? He felt fearful and was silent.
The time for their departure drew near. Word was given to assemble on a certain night, when they would depart immediately. Mudjikewis was loud in his demands for his moccasins. Several times his wife asked him the reason. 'Besides, said she, 'you have a good pair on. 'Quick, quick, said he, 'since you must know, we are going on a war excursion; so be quick. He thus revealed the secret.
Mudjikewis fell back thoughtful, saying to himself: 'I wonder who this can be that he is going to attack; and he was afraid. Still they continued to see the remains of former warriors, who had been to the place where they were now going, some of whom had retreated as far back as the place where they first saw the bones, beyond which no one had ever escaped.
Day after day they traveled on, till they came to an extensive plain, on the borders of which human bones were bleaching in the sun. The leader spoke: 'They are the bones of those who have gone before us. None has ever yet returned to tell the sad tale of their fate. Again Mudjikewis became restless, and, running forward, gave the accustomed yell.
