She commenced to hum the sacred air and the others, not knowing know-ing why, look It up. I he snake, with head poised, paused and Mrs Dunlap slowly arose and beckoned the others oth-ers to follow which they quietly did. After having gained a safe distance, the others discovered what their danger dan-ger had been. Armed with clubs the women then killed the snake. |
