Being without any adequate means of protec tion, I dispatched a trusty messenger to Fort Randall, about thirty miles distant, asking for a small detachment of troops and a howitzer to guard the supplies and protect the whites in case matters went from bad to worse. Big Mouth, though mortally wounded, was still living, and the squaws and medicine men were gathered about him in great numbers, the former shrilly wailing, and the latter beating drums, discharging fire arms, and keeping up a continu...ous racket. Although they were fa miliar enough with wounds to know that their chieftain could not live, word was sent to me AMONG THE SIOUX OF DAKOTA. 91 that they wanted Dr. C - to try his healing powers. It was far from a pleasant undertak ing to thread our way through this mob of howling savages to the dying Big Mouth. Upon the approach of the doctor and myself, they made way for us, but redoubled their cries and uproar, whether to give assurance that we would be safe or be scalped we could not tell.
