After checking them over in bunches of ten, he entrusted twenty to his eldest grandson, Ne-geek The Otter to be held in reserve for ammunition and tobacco, and ten to his eldest granddaughter, Neykia, with which to purchase an outfit for the rest of the party. For a long time Oo-koo-hoo stood immersed in thought.
