It would be easy to be kind to a hungry Sun
Man and give him food. We have much. The
hunting has been good.

{War Chief}
Better to kill the Sun Man.

_(He turns upon People, indicating most
commands in gestures as he prepares the
ambush, making women and boys conceal
all the camp outfit and game, and
disposing the armed hunters among the
ferns and behind trees till all are hidden.)_

{Elk Man and Antelope}
_(Running down hillside)_
The Sun Man comes.

_(War Chief sends them to hiding places)_

{War Chief}
_(Preparing himself to hide)_
You have not hidden, O Red Cloud.

{Red Cloud}
_(Stepping into shadow of big tree where he
remains inconspicuous though dimly
visible)_
I would see this Sun Man and talk with him.

_(The sound of singing is heard, and War
Chief conceals himself)_

_(Sun Man, with handful of followers, singing
to ease the tedium of the march, enter
from right. They are patently survivors
of a wrecked exploring skip, making their
way inland)_

{Sun Men}
We sailed three hundred strong
For the far Barbaree;
Our voyage has been most long
For the far Barbaree;
So--it's a long pull,
Give a strong pull,
For the far Barbaree.

We sailed the oceans wide
For the coast of Barbaree;
And left our ship a sinking
On the coast of Barbaree;
So--it's a long pull,
Give a strong pull,
For the far Barbaree.

Our ship went fast a-lee
On the rocks of Barbaree;
That's why we quit the sea
On the rocks of Barbaree.
So--it's a long pull,
Give a strong pull,
For the far Barbaree.

We quit the bitter seas
On the coast of Barbaree;
To seek the savag-ees
Of the far Barbaree.
So--it's a long pull,
Give a strong pull,
For the far Barbaree.

Our feet are lame and sore
In the far Barbaree;
From treading of the shore
Of the far Barbaree.
So--it's a long pull,
Give a strong pull,
For the far Barbaree.

A weary brood are we
In the far Barbaree;
Sea cunies of the sea
In the far Barbaree.
So--it's a long pull,
G
