The white men knew that Genoa Jack had been killed because he had taken a woman from a tribe with a totem unmatched to his. They al­so knew that the black would return for the girl and in fact would prob­ably still be watching the camp. The white men were uneasy with the wild black presence If the white child had not been ill last night, Birra­wong would already be heading to the ranges with her true totem man. Ilimiwong like Jack had seen the white life and wanted more and so she had gone with Jack, but the black spirits still made her afraid. She knew Itooinhy would come for her.
