When a party of young men is [gone] out after ochre and several [layers] of cloud are to be seen in the sky, one behind the other, this is believed to be the sign that the ochre-gatherers are in the neighbourhood and are marching [home] in Indian file, one behind the other. The women now are no longer allowed to leave [the camp], in order that their husbands may meet up with them at home and gain a good impression of them.
