Having heard some indians singing, we tried to get these to sing some native songs.

Only after Louis and Frank had sung some English songs, which were well received, were we able to hear Aztec songs in exchange.

After a long delay, we were taken to the schoolhouse for supper and the night, and spent the balance of the evening in taking down a native song, _The Tlaxcalteca_, and witnessing a dance which accompanied it.

A bed was made up for the party by putting various benches and tables together.

Near sunset we reached the house of Quechol's uncle, old Isidro.
