tanned five dollars, each one contributing
Q half. This is rolled up in handker-

With sticks. rocks. bones, or anything
that comes handy, they begin to pound
on the timbers in front of them, utterine
all kinds OF moaning gutteral sounds.

about ten minutes. and then the "po," is
brought out and passed over to the win
