214 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY NUMBER 23 candles in the mountains. They didn't win. Don't you see, it was a Whirlwind [the Chiapanecs] had asked for. It was a Whirlwind the Chiapanecs had asked for in the cave. It came out of the cave for them. That's why [the Zinacantecs] didn't win. The bell didn't come [back]. It has been there ever since. That's why it was left that way very long ago. It was stolen away. It was stolen. The bell that went to Chiapa was [made of] pure gold and silver. That's why. That's all there is [to say]. The end. Unlike Xun Vaskis' accounts of the loss of the bell (T157, Til5), Tonik does not suggest that the elders were so foolish as to sell their bell to the Chiapanecs. The cave of the Chiapanec Whirlwinds, Pulatual Vo7, is the When the Bell Was Lifted T151 The Whirlwind, you see, this is the truth about it. I'll tell you the whole story about the Whirlwind, indeed. We used to have a bell here in Zinacantan Center. The bell—the bell was of gold and silver. Now as for the bell, it sounded beautiful. It sounded very loud. Now, the Chiapanecs used to come to visit. They used to come see the threshhold of Saint Lawrence. They used to be walking about all the time. It wasn't the way it is now. They never come anymore to sell fish. They were the ve—ry first to come. Twelve of the Whirlwinds who came grew envious. As for the twelve Whirlwinds—the Chiapanecs have a cave there. They came. "Well, why is it that the Indian jerks are so lucky, the Zinacantec jerks? They are so lucky. Their bell is wonderful!" they said. Since in the place where the [bell] was hung, there was a snake. The snake's jaws were ga—ping wide. It was all gold—the snake. The [bell] rope was all gold. Ye—s! Those twelve Chiapanecs arrived. Four ... six untied it and six on the ground received it. They slid it down by the church door. Then when they had untied it—however they did it—they lowered it. Then a terri—fie Whirlwind came. Bu—t, Holy Mary, what a Whirlwind! They never heard the bell go. It reached Chiapa. The bell is there now, to this day, in Chiapa. But it is cracked now. Cracked by lightning because they didn't know what to use. In Zinacantan Center, they put "St. Peter the Martyr"—they put palm fronds on it. They have to be tied to the bell's rim. It is wrapped around with palm fronds. kantela ti ta vitze, muk' bu kuch yu7unik, mu xavil ja7 li sutum 7ik'e, sk'anoj taj sutum 7ik'e, sk'anoj ta ch'en i jsoktometike, lok'em yu7unik ta ch'en, yech'o xal ti muk' bu kuch yu7un 7une, muk' xtal ti kampanae, k'al tana te, yech'o xal ja7 yech 7ikom 7o yech 7un ti vo7ne 7une, 7elk'anbil ech'el, 7elk'anbil naka la 7oro 7i plata li kampana batem ta Soktom 7un Ie7e.

[The bell] went. It went with the Whirlwinds. They were able to take it. They succeeded in stealing it away. The town was left without its bell. A bell is still there [in the Church of St. Lawrence]—the one that's there now. It's the second bell. The first one was bigger. Now, the second bell, there, it has taken the place of the first bell, now. The bell that's there now is called Maria Angelica. The other was Maria Teresa. Yes! The [thieves] were able to get it there to Chiapa. "Now that we've won, let's see, I guess, if they come looking for it. What can they do to take it? There's no way. Even if they pay us for a cart—but a cart can't ever get it there. Don't you see, it's really heavy," they said. Since there just used to be carts long ago. Ye—s! They went. The poor people of Zinacantan Center went searching. They never brought it ba—ck. They never fou—nd it. They still didn't know, it seems, what Zinacantan Center was missing. They didn't know about the business. They still didn't know about the Chiapanecs' business. They were just Whirlwinds, those dumb [Chiapanecs]. Since they were witches—the Chiapanecs a long time ago. They stole it. It arrived. No trouble. The matter ended there—to this day. They never searched [successfully] for it. [The Chiapanecs] took possession of the bell. Since it was sto—len property, the Chiapanecs have their fine bell now. It isn't theirs. It's Zinacantan Center's. Just the way the Gospel Cross went. It disappeared. Who knows who stole it. How would you know who it was—if it was just the sacristans themselves or somebody else who stole it. We don't know. That bell arrived [in Chiapa]. "We'll see. The Indians will have to come looking for it. They always come to sell peaches. Take ca—re, then! Don't let them see that it's here now!" said the Chiapanecs—those twelve [Chiapanecs]. The bell arrived. They hid it. It was hidden a long time. Little by little they turned their attention to it. It went up. They got it up into the bell tower. I don't know how long they hid it. I don't know if it was a year, or longer. I don't know. When it was hidden—when the people of Zinacantan Center saw it— it was already hung. What good did it do? We hardly could get it down ourselves! They just looked at it. The bell was hanging there, now. That's all. It was rung there, then. They heard its tone, since they recognized it. Ye—s! The bell is there now in Chiapa.
