“A deliverer was sent to them in the person of Jonayafyin, the son of the old woman who lives in the West, and the second wife of the Sun. She divided her time between the Sun and the Water-fall, and by the latter bore a second son, named Ko- bachischini, who remained with his mother while his brother went forth to battle with the enemies of mankind. In four days Jonayafyin grew to manhood,™ then he asked his mother where the Elk lived.”
