"'On the mountain was a pole which was very restless and made a noise, nor could any one say how it could be quieted. At length, they took a motherless child, and struck it against the pole; and thus killed the child. They then took the pole, and carry it with them when they go to war. It was like a wooden tomahawk, such as they now use, and of the same wood. Here, they also found four herbs or roots, which sang and disclosed their virtues: _First, Pasaw_, the rattle-snake root; _Second, Micoweanochaw_ red-root; _Third, Sowatchko_, which grows like wild fennel; and _Fourth, Eschalapootchke_, little tobacco.
