At the end of this period, it was placed on a funereal pile, round which the mourners ranged themselves, their faces painted black, their hair clipped short, and their heads covered with eagle's down. The pipe was next passed round two or three times; and then, at some secret signal, the fire was kindled in several places, while a discord of drumming and wailing deafened one till the pile was consumed. Lastly, the ashes were collected into an ornamented box, which was ultimately to be elevated ...on a scafibld, or on the top of a pole.
