Due to an outbreak of syphilis among the soldiers, the hospital was full. And so there, in the stable among the feed and tack and whatsits, gave birth to a son whom she called Alvis, as was her wont. And since none of the men in the party were the father, it was decided among them that the birth of this child must truly be a miracle. And it was so, for above the fort there suddenly and miraculously appeared an awesome and mighty comet. So brilliant was its light that there came, from all the tribes which the soldiers had not yet decimated, Shamans. And they rode upon buffalo as was their heathen custom, bearing gifts, offerings of whiskey and firearms.
