OlbrechtsJ THE SWIMMER MANUSCRIPT 305<br />
dipped out with his hand]. Should the medicine man [after all his<br />
efforts] not succeed in sending the evil fortune to some other victim<br />
it is believed that his client must suffer.<br />
Each trial vnth. the beads necessitates the laying down of additional<br />
cloth, all of which is taken by the medicine man at the conclusion of<br />
the ceremony [as his fee]. To m.ake assurance doubly sure [to check<br />
up, as if it were, on the results of the first da}^], the ceremony is some-<br />
times performed for four consecutive mornings; in each case the<br />
client fasts until noon, although it is not necessary to keep awake<br />
throughout the preceding night as in some other ceremonies of a<br />
similar nature.<br />
Should all other means fail there still remains one resource: the<br />
dreamer kills [a hog, or some poultry] belonging to himself, and has it<br />
cooked to be eaten by his family and friends. He himself, however,<br />
must not partake of it. In former times, [if it proved not possible]<br />
to send the calamity away from his own settlement, [the one who<br />
dreamed] went hunting and killed a deer or a bear, with which he<br />
made a feast in the same way for his friends and neighbors of the<br />
settlement.<br />
[These latter means of averting the evU consequences of bad<br />
dreams are no longer known.]<br />
