Quotations
1923
When the storm was about to break out, at midnight, a deep sound from the seer's lodge startled the people, a sound like that of a large water drum.
1935
. . . the leaders, marching near the lodge, beat the water-drum and chanted a song.
1956
There was also a water drum made like a small barrel with a skin head at one end. The barrel was partly filled with water which gave the drum a queer echoing note that carried a long way.
