JTATSCL MAATOT WAN LNA J SAIN Ue, Point Arena is the very important per- command for several years. During his Sarah returned from a four years’ course at the le. As she was an attractive girl, and could row, hunt, fish and gamble, all the young braves of yped to win her. ent among her suitors were two men, known as Jim and George. Captain John looked on both with equal favor, but Sarah seemed to prefer Jim, as she gave a little more encourage- ment to him than to his rival. The whole reservation took.an inter- est in the affair. Finally the crisis came. The Fourth of July is the day of days on this reservation. It is the gala day of the year. Among the festive displays is Ameri- can dancing. The war dance is indulged in only once in three or four years, as few can dance it well. Jim and George knew that the eaptain fondly clung to the old-time war dance, and asked permis- sion to have one. h knew that whoever danced the best would be in high favor with him, and if either of them was the lucky one, the maiden would be his. For a number of days everything was in preparation for the event. Finally, the great night came. We went to see the dance, and were invited to seat ourselves around a rope ring. In the middle of this ring a fire was burning, half a mass of glowing coals and the other flame and smoke. We sat there fighting the swarms of mosquitoes, when, from a tent the squaws came, arrayed in their best dresses, ribbons and handkerchiefs. Each carried a handkerchief in her hands. They quietly took positions on two sides of the fire, took their handker- chiefs in both hand and began swaying their bodies back and forth, 4 uttering a serie of sounds, at first in a low tone, then growing louder and louder, till they ended with a great burst, which sounded like ‘‘Hic! Hace! Hoe!’’
