The young men took the bodies of their enemies and burned them.
Soon after,the woman went to procure wives for them,in a distant country,they knew not where;but she returned with ten young women,which she gave to the ten young men,beginning with the eldest.Mudjikewis stepped to and fro,uneasy lest he should not get the one he liked.
But he was not disappointed,for she fell to his lot.
And they were well matched,for she was a female magician.
They then all moved into a very large lodge,and their sister told them that the women must now take turns in going to her brother's head every night,trying to untie it.
They all said they would do so with pleasure.The eldest made the first attempt,and with a rushing noise she fled through the air.
Toward daylight she returned.She had been unsuccessful,as she succeeded in untying only one of the knots.All took their turns regularly,and each one succeeded in untying only one knot each time.
But when the youngest went,she commenced the work as soon as she reached the lodge;although it had always been occupied,still the Indians never could see any one.For ten nights now,the smoke had not ascended,but filled the lodge and drove them out.
This last night they were all driven out,and the young woman carried off the head.
The young people and the sister heard the young woman coming high through the air,and they heard her saying:
'Prepare the body of our brother.'And as soon as they heard it,they went to a small lodge where the black body of Iamo lay.
His sister commenced cutting the neck part,from which the neck had been severed.She cut so deep as to cause it to bleed;and the others who were present,by rubbing the body and applying medicines,expelled the blackness.In the meantime,the one who brought it,by cutting the neck of the head,caused that also to bleed.
