fingers pointing outward, and shot his hand outward—­I see you up there.  Pointing to me, then giving the last above-described sign of look, then pointing to himself, he made the sign as if stretching out a piece of gum-elastic between the fingers of his left and right hands, and then made the sign of cut-off before described, and then extended the palm of the right hand horizontally a foot from his waist, inside downward, then suddenly threw it half over and from him, as if you were to toss a chip from the back of the hand (this is the negative sign everywhere used among these Indians)—­I would see him a long time, which should never be cut off, i.e., always.

Pointing upward, then rubbing the back of his left hand lightly with the forefinger of his right, he again gave the negative sign.—­No Indian there (in heaven).  Pointing upward, then rubbing his forefinger over the back of my hand, he again made the negative sign—­No white man there.  He made the same sign again, only he felt his hair with the forefinger and thumb of his right hand, rolling the hair several times between the fingers—­No black man in heaven.  Then rubbing the back of his hand and making the negative sign, rubbing the back of my hand and making the negative sign, feeling of one of his hairs with the thumb and forefinger of his right hand, and making the negative sign, then using both hands as if he were reaching around a hogshead, he brought the forefinger of his right hand to the front in an upright position after their manner of counting, and said thereby—­No Indian, no white man, no black man, all one.  Making the “hogshead” sign, and that for look, he placed the forefinger of each hand side by side pointing upward—­All look the same, or alike.  Running his hands over his wild Indian costume and over my clothes, he made the “hogshead” sign, and that for same, and said thereby—­All dress alike there.  Then making the “hogshead” sign, and that for love, (hugging his hands), he extended both hands outward, palms turned downward, and made a sign exactly similar to the way ladies smooth a bed in making it; this is the sign for happy—­All will be happy alike there.  He then made the sign for talk and for Father, pointing to himself and to me—­You pray for me.  He then made the sign for go away, pointing to me, he threw right hand over his right shoulder so his index finger pointed behind him—­You go away.  Calling his name he made the sign for look and the sign of negation after pointing to me—­Kin Ch[=e]-[)e]ss see you no more.
