But the greater company went obediently forward, until at last they neared Shípololon K'yaía (Steam mist in the middle of the waters). Behold! they saw as they journeyed the smoke of men's hearth-fires and a great assemblage of houses scattered over the hills before them! And when they came closer they met dwellers in those places, nor did they look peacefully upon them—having earlier in their last resting-place had a touch of war—but challenged them rudely, to know who they were and why they were there.
