And then she goes through it again, slowly, carefully. Once more the sun had disappeared behind the mountains, and as darkness grew Mīka´pi came down from where he had been hiding and carefully approached the camp. Now was a time of danger.

Very slowly, looking and listening, Mīka´pi crept around the outskirts of the camp. He made no noise, he did not show himself.
