I am old and you can kill me if you will, but it is useless to lie to you who know more than all the Indians.

Therefore I will not lie to you but if you will let me return to my people I will bring them in." He was allowed to go.

The next day he came back and said his people were on the way to our camp to go with the men sent by the Great Father, who was so good and rich.
Another day passed but no Indians from the deep Valley appeared.

The old chief said that the snow was so deep and his village was so far down that it took a long time to climb out of it.

After waiting still another day the expedition started for the Valley.
