Their throats and lungs seemed to be as tough as the inside of a bear's hide, and also they threw into their work a zest and flavor that showed they were enjoying it. Presently their yelling changed its key note, and Will discerned the word, "wamdadan." Again the hunter lying by his side laughed low. "What does 'wamdadan' mean?" he asked. "Just now we were 'winihinca' and now we are 'wamdadan."
"'Winihinca' is the Sioux word for women," replied the hunter, "and they're trying to taunt us because we're lying in hiding. It will take more than a taunt or two to draw us out of these cottonwoods. They can shout 'winihinca' all night if they wish." But the warriors riding back and forth in the moonlight on the crest of the low swell were good shouters. Yellers, Will would have called them.
They rode slowly back and forth, shaking long lances or waving heavy war clubs, and suddenly they burst into a series of yells that made the lad's blood run cold. At length he distinguished the word, "winihinca" shouted over and over again. Boyd, lying beside him, was laughing low. "What does 'winihinca' mean, and why do you laugh?" asked Will.
