The Pale-Faced Lightning

WEBVTT

00:01.567 --> 00:02.588
[SPEAKER_00]: Ahoi, my friends.

00:03.049 --> 00:05.251
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome aboard the Afro Tales Barcans.

00:05.732 --> 00:07.494
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm your storyteller, Monna Zinger.

00:07.835 --> 00:15.724
[SPEAKER_00]: Join me as we explore the tales that grew from the people of indigenous and African descent in the Americas and the Caribbean.

00:15.744 --> 00:18.127
[SPEAKER_00]: After, come and see me.

00:18.608 --> 00:21.131
[SPEAKER_00]: Chef, who will impart upon me?

00:21.171 --> 00:23.694
[SPEAKER_00]: It hasn't been for the story you have just made.

00:24.114 --> 00:27.739
[SPEAKER_00]: So with no further ado, let us set set on this.

00:28.440 --> 00:30.342
[SPEAKER_00]: New age of exploration.

00:32.093 --> 00:33.194
[SPEAKER_00]: pale face like me.

00:36.779 --> 00:56.683
[SPEAKER_00]: Hundreds of years ago, a tribe of little people, fatalities, barely above three feet, moved into the area of Mount Superstition, amid the waste of sagebrush and rabbit bush, they built themselves a pebble, a type of mace,

00:58.013 --> 01:04.702
[SPEAKER_00]: In front of the settlement was a huge pool of water that supplied the needs of the village.

01:04.722 --> 01:11.150
[SPEAKER_00]: Next, they planted fields of maize, pumpkins, beans, squash and cotton.

01:11.972 --> 01:18.560
[SPEAKER_00]: They dug ditches to ring water from distant creeks for the plants and vines.

01:19.682 --> 01:22.165
[SPEAKER_00]: They also raised hers of sheep.

01:22.870 --> 01:32.139
[SPEAKER_00]: flocks of turkeys which they considered more important for feathers that they could use for decoration than for eating.

01:33.520 --> 01:41.628
[SPEAKER_00]: In the center of the fields, they raised a lookout, it wouldn't platform two stories high with a brush roof.

01:42.969 --> 01:52.118
[SPEAKER_00]: From here a guard watched for birds and small animals that read the fields,

01:53.380 --> 02:03.556
[SPEAKER_00]: They were a peacefully, resourceful yet strong, although the tallest brave among them stood less than four feet.

02:04.537 --> 02:15.574
[SPEAKER_00]: They often managed to keep their superstitious enemies at bay, with their ceremonies and chanting in honor of sun.

02:16.896 --> 02:20.822
[SPEAKER_00]: The rumble of their drums of cottonwood and high,

02:20.802 --> 02:29.573
[SPEAKER_00]: The ghostly sounds of bells, and the words of their ancient songs were more impressive than a show of arms.

02:30.594 --> 02:40.406
[SPEAKER_00]: Hearing this, a patchy's or a commandy's, would skirt their fields to pray on other less fierce sounds.

02:42.209 --> 02:49.678
[SPEAKER_00]: Then, one day at noon time, the guard in his watch tower began to beat his warning

02:50.620 --> 02:56.627
[SPEAKER_00]: He had spotted a solitary human figure running toward the fields from the south.

02:57.508 --> 03:13.647
[SPEAKER_00]: On every side, the man who did the farming and herding, as well as hunting, looked up from their work, amid the roles of corn and squashed, carrying spears or simply digging sticks.

03:13.767 --> 03:19.193
[SPEAKER_00]: These farmers rushed to drive the invader from the fields.

03:19.173 --> 03:20.276
[SPEAKER_00]: to their astonishment.

03:21.118 --> 03:22.260
[SPEAKER_00]: They discovered it was a woman.

03:23.403 --> 03:28.013
[SPEAKER_00]: Nearly collapsed from the heat and weariness, staggering toward them.

03:29.136 --> 03:38.177
[SPEAKER_00]: She was dressed in a white cotton dress and a shawl decorated

03:39.355 --> 03:49.205
[SPEAKER_00]: But what caused the men to gain in wonder was the woman's white face, fair hair, and height.

03:51.047 --> 03:55.872
[SPEAKER_00]: She was half again as tall as the tallest man among them.

03:57.614 --> 04:06.443
[SPEAKER_00]: She spoke to them in halting words of the Zunutun, the words were curious the accent

04:06.878 --> 04:21.115
[SPEAKER_00]: But if you among the people were able to understand her well enough, one who did was Lolo Lolo Mine, the old man who was the spokesman of his people.

04:22.336 --> 04:27.002
[SPEAKER_01]: I have run away from those people who live over there.

04:27.943 --> 04:32.228
[SPEAKER_00]: She exclaimed pointing to the south where the Zoony people live.

04:34.300 --> 04:42.649
[SPEAKER_01]: I was a stranger among them and lived in peace with them for a time, but I would not marry the man.

04:43.990 --> 04:54.300
[SPEAKER_01]: They said I must, I have heard that you are a civilized people who welcome strangers if they mean you no harm.

04:56.583 --> 05:03.750
[SPEAKER_01]: Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,

05:04.068 --> 05:05.670
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll teach you some of the ways of my people.

05:08.013 --> 05:13.580
[SPEAKER_00]: You are not zoonly said, no, no, no, no, no.

05:15.242 --> 05:18.025
[SPEAKER_00]: Who are your people?

05:21.109 --> 05:31.442
[SPEAKER_01]: My people live in a place far to the east, beyond the mountain that the sun must climb each dawn.

05:33.042 --> 05:38.170
[SPEAKER_00]: Then she spoke the name of her people, and the name of the place where they lived.

05:39.171 --> 05:44.800
[SPEAKER_00]: But the sounds were strange, impossible for the small people to understand.

05:46.923 --> 05:59.202
[SPEAKER_00]: Little Ome said,

05:59.755 --> 06:03.383
[SPEAKER_00]: We will not make you stay if you choose to leave.

06:05.427 --> 06:08.173
[SPEAKER_00]: You are great, generous people.

06:08.914 --> 06:14.766
[SPEAKER_00]: She said, we are civilized people.

06:16.169 --> 06:19.857
[SPEAKER_00]: The old man said, with a show, no more.

06:22.250 --> 06:26.338
[SPEAKER_00]: So the woman was assigned duties to perform.

06:26.358 --> 06:32.069
[SPEAKER_00]: She helped the women tend the small guardians near the pueblo and make peeky.

06:32.651 --> 06:40.005
[SPEAKER_00]: Them sheets of cornmeal bread stuff baked on red hot rock slabs.

06:39.985 --> 06:48.177
[SPEAKER_00]: She helped the man who did the weaving, spinning, democracy and making, and fuel gun.

06:48.638 --> 06:54.006
[SPEAKER_00]: In return, she was given a space to live and share of the community's food.

06:55.168 --> 07:01.757
[SPEAKER_00]: Though she had come from another place, she was respected and were all women.

07:03.380 --> 07:08.828
[SPEAKER_00]: They owned the houses, food, seed for the next year's plantings.

07:10.073 --> 07:16.964
[SPEAKER_00]: and the springs and pools around the Pueblo, including the vast deep pool in front of the village.

07:17.945 --> 07:31.086
[SPEAKER_00]: For her part, the stranger taught the people slew methods of weaving and curing meats and killing sickness or mounds.

07:31.066 --> 07:44.587
[SPEAKER_00]: Because of her wisdom and skills she was soon welcomed at the chief's talk, the meeting of village elders and heads of various groups that was held each winter.

07:45.529 --> 07:56.145
[SPEAKER_00]: Her advice delivered in soft, strangely accented, carefully measured words, was always listened to when acted upon.

07:56.125 --> 08:02.275
[SPEAKER_00]: With her help, the people found that their crops were more bound to them.

08:03.176 --> 08:14.775
[SPEAKER_00]: Their children were healthy, and the Apache raids had grown less frequent as the women taught them new ways to protect their homes and fields.

08:16.156 --> 08:27.368
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes, however, the people would see her standing on the highest roof of the Pueblo, her eyes fixed on some point far to the east.

08:28.749 --> 08:42.163
[SPEAKER_00]: At first they did not understand, but then they soon realized that she was looking toward the rising sun because that was where her true

08:43.325 --> 08:52.978
[SPEAKER_00]: more and more, their fear grew that she would abandon the mundane, and try to return to the place from this she had come.

08:53.819 --> 08:56.242
[SPEAKER_00]: Finally, the day came that they dreaded.

08:57.103 --> 09:01.669
[SPEAKER_00]: Though, it causes my heart to break.

09:01.689 --> 09:03.932
[SPEAKER_00]: I soon must leave you, she said.

09:04.733 --> 09:11.121
[SPEAKER_00]: I long to visit my people again, who live there beyond the Eastern Mountains.

09:12.147 --> 09:14.610
[SPEAKER_00]: they begged her not to go away.

09:15.491 --> 09:22.441
[SPEAKER_00]: And old little old man, with tears in his eyes reminded her how much the people loved her.

09:23.181 --> 09:28.008
[SPEAKER_00]: Now important she had become to their life in the webblog.

09:28.028 --> 09:41.125
[SPEAKER_00]: But when he saw that her heart was set on leavey now, he said simply,

09:42.455 --> 09:55.327
[SPEAKER_00]: We would not be civilized people, go where you must go, but keep us always in your heart.

09:55.347 --> 09:56.007
[SPEAKER_00]: She said nothing.

09:57.148 --> 10:09.880
[SPEAKER_00]: She just smiled and sad smiled and touched her hand to her heart to show that wherever

10:12.205 --> 10:25.030
[SPEAKER_00]: But on the dawn of the day that she was to the part, where it reached the preblood that a huge war party of Zunis was advancing from the south.

10:26.232 --> 10:30.741
[SPEAKER_00]: The small people were terrified that the enemy would lay waste to their fields.

10:32.083 --> 10:34.568
[SPEAKER_00]: Destroy their village.

10:34.548 --> 10:38.815
[SPEAKER_00]: There had been an uneasy truth between the two peoples for a while.

10:39.797 --> 10:47.229
[SPEAKER_00]: For a long time, the Zoonies had insisted that the small people had claimed lands that properly belonged to them.

10:48.351 --> 10:50.835
[SPEAKER_00]: Crys of alarm swept with weapon.

10:51.457 --> 11:02.296
[SPEAKER_00]: Clearly, this was no mere writing part of it to be driven off with singing and drumming, or with arrows and digging sticks.

11:02.316 --> 11:07.845
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a zoo warpan that marched conflict.

11:09.563 --> 11:24.540
[SPEAKER_00]: The warriors were sure that their own medicine would protect them, and their distress, the small people turned to the pale woman whose wisdom had provided them with such powerful medicine before.

11:26.762 --> 11:33.009
[SPEAKER_00]: Why do they make war on us now, Axe Lolo Man?

11:33.369 --> 11:35.892
[SPEAKER_00]: Who can say the woman responded?

11:36.496 --> 11:46.612
[SPEAKER_00]: I lived among them long enough to know that they are in people quick to take a war path if they feel they have been wrong.

11:47.173 --> 11:52.241
[SPEAKER_00]: What can we do against them enemy who is so strong?

11:52.261 --> 11:57.289
[SPEAKER_00]: As long as we are civilized people, say the one.

11:58.045 --> 12:07.894
[SPEAKER_00]: For a moment she hesitates, glancing at the water jump and food that she had set out for her journey home.

12:09.055 --> 12:13.399
[SPEAKER_00]: Then she smiled, rimmed, and a little man.

12:13.419 --> 12:16.642
[SPEAKER_00]: Let us go out to meet the invaders.

12:17.763 --> 12:21.647
[SPEAKER_00]: Perhaps talk, we'll see them home.

12:21.667 --> 12:25.791
[SPEAKER_00]: But let us also be a wise people.

12:26.783 --> 12:30.297
[SPEAKER_00]: and do what you can to the thing that I've played with.

12:32.892 --> 12:57.769
[SPEAKER_00]: She instructed those who remained behind to hide the sheen and turkeys and secret battles to carry all provisions, tools and weapons from the fields below up to the mace of time and to place piles of stones along the edges of the cliffs above the path that wound up the

12:59.909 --> 13:05.897
[SPEAKER_00]: Then, she marched out with the party warriors and elders to meet the Zones.

13:07.339 --> 13:14.789
[SPEAKER_00]: It was agreed by all that Lola or May would speak for the Mesa dwellers.

13:14.810 --> 13:17.794
[SPEAKER_00]: Though, it left a bitter taste in her mouth.

13:18.535 --> 13:26.085
[SPEAKER_00]: The pale face woman has suggested this, because she knew the Zones would be more speck of a man.

13:28.546 --> 13:33.595
[SPEAKER_00]: But when they faced the enemy, it caused a small string band.

13:34.817 --> 13:42.611
[SPEAKER_00]: They were dismayed to find that the Zuni Chief immediately recognized the pale face woman and arrogantly demanded.

13:43.152 --> 13:46.679
[SPEAKER_00]: You must hand her over to me at once.

13:47.560 --> 13:50.065
[SPEAKER_00]: She is the cause of all this trouble.

13:50.926 --> 13:52.950
[SPEAKER_00]: We have a claim upon her.

13:53.302 --> 13:58.951
[SPEAKER_00]: My people brought her many moons ago from the waters of the rising sun.

14:00.153 --> 14:06.924
[SPEAKER_00]: It was only to escape an honorable marriage with me that she fled to you small people.

14:08.227 --> 14:18.263
[SPEAKER_00]: A civilized people with it not to make a slave of such a person, blown on magic.

14:19.576 --> 14:24.941
[SPEAKER_00]: Always are not your ways, said there's a new chief.

14:24.961 --> 14:35.311
[SPEAKER_00]: If you do not return the white face to one to us, we will take her by force, give her to us, and we will leave you in peace.

14:37.173 --> 14:47.203
[SPEAKER_00]: Then the woman who had remained silent until now said, if you hand me over to them, they

14:47.825 --> 14:59.557
[SPEAKER_00]: All the time I was with them, they talked about killing, so that they could have our fields and goods and homes.

15:00.959 --> 15:11.470
[SPEAKER_00]: We will not give her to you, said the spokesman to the zoonu chief, then we will take her by force, said the chief.

15:12.108 --> 15:17.994
[SPEAKER_00]: and we will kill you and take everything you own because you have not surrendered her to us.

15:18.875 --> 15:23.920
[SPEAKER_00]: At this, the woman and the small people heard back to their home.

15:23.940 --> 15:37.373
[SPEAKER_00]: Behind them, the Zoos, who had been slowed by the swift current and slippery mud of the stream, howled and beat their war drums and made ready to attack the swept

15:38.922 --> 15:44.950
[SPEAKER_00]: Then, they enemy, some 700 strong, marched on the planet.

15:44.970 --> 16:01.032
[SPEAKER_00]: The small people had set up several ambushes and dug pits, but they gathered their real forces to defend the planet, with such limited resistance, the zoony warrior soon reached the base of the Mason.

16:01.012 --> 16:07.719
[SPEAKER_00]: when they tried to climb to the top, the people ran rocks and arrows on them.

16:07.739 --> 16:14.046
[SPEAKER_00]: But despite the small people's best efforts, the Zoony made their way to the top.

16:15.248 --> 16:24.538
[SPEAKER_00]: As the enemy warriors masked at the trailhead, the Mesa duo is gathered in a half circle behind the pale woman.

16:26.003 --> 16:38.043
[SPEAKER_00]: She stood across the great pool of water, calm and commanding her white robe and light brown hair, fluttered in the wind.

16:38.063 --> 16:42.190
[SPEAKER_00]: Both friend and foe looked upon her in admiration.

16:43.385 --> 17:00.439
[SPEAKER_00]: men, with a cry of his son who's rushed toward her, brandishing clouds and spears, before they could reach her the pale face woman, stoop, pit up and earthen jar and emptied the contents into the pool, and an instant.

17:00.459 --> 17:04.026
[SPEAKER_00]: She ran back, crying in one of our people,

17:04.006 --> 17:05.851
[SPEAKER_00]: Run, don't ever look back!

17:06.412 --> 17:15.454
[SPEAKER_00]: Hissing sparks and blazing balls of fire leaked from the surface of the pool while tongues of civil-white flame burst from fishes in the ground.

17:17.018 --> 17:21.930
[SPEAKER_00]: When these unearthly fires touch the zoonies, they feel dead.

17:23.227 --> 17:38.154
[SPEAKER_00]: others, fearful of this mysterious fire, or blinded by it, plunged over the edge of the cliff to their depths, with small people surged forward and drove the survivors back.

17:39.497 --> 17:46.129
[SPEAKER_00]: That, with the only effort needed to urge the remainder of the war party to fully treat

17:47.999 --> 17:50.382
[SPEAKER_00]: How have you done this thing?

17:51.804 --> 17:53.947
[SPEAKER_00]: Asked the old Lolo Man.

17:55.109 --> 18:02.920
[SPEAKER_00]: When the dust of the battle had settled, if we could do this, we would not be afraid when you leave us.

18:03.782 --> 18:06.886
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you teach us how to do this ourselves?

18:08.588 --> 18:11.813
[SPEAKER_00]: I cannot teach the secret to you, the woman answer.

18:12.552 --> 18:22.264
[SPEAKER_00]: This is something only my people can do, but I have decided that I cannot leave you or my people now.

18:23.165 --> 18:24.346
[SPEAKER_00]: My home is among you.

18:25.948 --> 18:28.511
[SPEAKER_00]: That is very good thing.

18:29.893 --> 18:33.196
[SPEAKER_00]: Said the old man, I am grateful for this.

18:33.216 --> 18:37.902
[SPEAKER_00]: Though I know this must put pain in your heart.

18:39.721 --> 18:47.092
[SPEAKER_00]: Many months later, a band of a patchies under their new war chief attempted to raid the pebbling.

18:47.813 --> 18:52.640
[SPEAKER_00]: They fell upon people with suddenness and curiosity.

18:53.882 --> 18:57.908
[SPEAKER_00]: Before the alarm could be sounded, many of the farmers were killed.

18:58.970 --> 19:08.344
[SPEAKER_00]: Once again, the woman, the maids of Dweller's

19:09.691 --> 19:12.976
[SPEAKER_00]: This time, the slaughter was even greater.

19:12.996 --> 19:18.684
[SPEAKER_00]: A second time the woman looked on the scene of many deaths.

19:19.806 --> 19:23.712
[SPEAKER_00]: Finally she said, More enemies will come.

19:24.773 --> 19:29.100
[SPEAKER_00]: This is no longer a good place for civilized people.

19:29.120 --> 19:31.463
[SPEAKER_00]: It is time for us to make another place out.

19:33.451 --> 19:38.545
[SPEAKER_00]: Before the next four moon, the small people left as suddenly as they had come.

19:39.527 --> 19:48.692
[SPEAKER_00]: The Apache's who claimed their deserted fields and pueblos said that the strange people had gone to live in a secret.

19:48.672 --> 19:56.121
[SPEAKER_00]: cavern in the mountains, where the pale face lightning still rules them.

19:56.141 --> 20:08.677
[SPEAKER_00]: Other patches have held that her spirit haunted cave on superstition mounted itself, where her body one day vanished in a blaze of fire.

20:10.279 --> 20:14.224
[SPEAKER_00]: Others of the same tribe have pointed

20:14.812 --> 20:18.848
[SPEAKER_00]: at a second cave on the south side of Salt River.

20:19.790 --> 20:22.013
[SPEAKER_00]: as a place where the woman's spirit dwells.

20:22.755 --> 20:32.950
[SPEAKER_00]: Still others claim that a skeleton and robes of a strange, silky texture, beautifully ordained, were once found in.

20:34.453 --> 20:47.653
[SPEAKER_00]: Most more recent visitors, those who disbelieve such old tales of wonder, note that electrical phenomena

20:47.633 --> 21:00.810
[SPEAKER_00]: They suggest that iron, copper and other deposits lying close together may account for the ghostly fires sometimes glimpsed in the caves or on the mountainside.

21:02.432 --> 21:16.189
[SPEAKER_00]: But those who believe her story know that Mount Superstition is her home.

21:22.970 --> 21:37.783
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, now this is a very interesting legend coming from the book cut from the same cloth, American women of myth legend and tall tale by Robert D. Sancusi and Brian Picney.

21:39.044 --> 21:52.656
[SPEAKER_00]: What makes this story so interesting is the fact that one, it is, it is a legend that comes

21:54.374 --> 22:01.041
[SPEAKER_00]: the region in which superstition mountain is is not far from Phoenix.

22:01.962 --> 22:21.563
[SPEAKER_00]: The Pima Indians say that the shapes on the mountain that are where Indians who saw refuge from a great flood and were told not to look, not to make a sound until the waters had dried up, they disobeyed and

22:21.543 --> 22:25.267
[SPEAKER_00]: and punishment they became part of the rock formation.

22:26.808 --> 22:36.798
[SPEAKER_00]: Others say it is the side of the famous lost Dutchman mind, but there's also more stories and tales.

22:38.259 --> 22:50.571
[SPEAKER_00]: This particular story, a pale face, a pale face lightning is believed that she may be

22:51.800 --> 22:54.124
[SPEAKER_00]: of another race, from over the seas.

22:56.208 --> 23:09.572
[SPEAKER_00]: One, some people believe that she may be Greek, Roman, Viking, Chinese, Japanese, Egyptian, Phoenician, Hebrews, Arab, Turks, or even part of the Welsh Mandans.

23:10.919 --> 23:21.639
[SPEAKER_00]: a people that were thought to be lost, or at least that version of them are lost in the 1800s.

23:21.760 --> 23:31.999
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, they believe a Welsh prince came from a came across the water in the 1170 and created it all.

23:32.857 --> 23:46.880
[SPEAKER_00]: According to these legends, almost every nationality, every great nation has visited these lands and could be the responsible for the fell face lightning.

23:48.663 --> 23:53.211
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, that will be something you would have to figure out.

23:54.254 --> 23:57.477
[SPEAKER_00]: but it does sound much like science in here.

23:57.998 --> 24:10.410
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what the people of the Pueblo Spanish word meaning village were able to construct back in those days, but we also have the mound builders.

24:11.031 --> 24:20.700
[SPEAKER_00]: We have those that built these great civilizations and towns right into the cliffside in the Americas.

24:22.233 --> 24:23.635
[SPEAKER_00]: These people weren't dumb.

24:24.335 --> 24:32.144
[SPEAKER_00]: They weren't ignorant to how to work land and utilize the resources they had.

24:32.785 --> 24:50.485
[SPEAKER_00]: So could the man then try to be the bell-based lightning and head figure out how to use natural minerals in the water to create smoke bombs or create a type of fire.

24:50.465 --> 24:51.346
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't know.

24:52.629 --> 25:12.000
[SPEAKER_00]: If you are a history buff, you know about the ancient Greeks, or in the old Mediterranean days, from being able to use a fire that could ride the surface of the ocean.

25:12.689 --> 25:20.644
[SPEAKER_00]: and wouldn't burn out and people now today think it's like napalm or something that they may have figured out back then, the chemical.

25:21.986 --> 25:27.897
[SPEAKER_00]: If you watched a camera thrones or something like the green fire from that, well.

25:29.513 --> 25:37.409
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what the, um, this woman was able to do, but she protected her people.

25:38.791 --> 25:41.477
[SPEAKER_00]: And that is all that matters.

25:42.839 --> 25:49.733
[SPEAKER_00]: She helped them understand that it wasn't, they didn't need to be there anymore.

25:49.713 --> 25:50.394
[SPEAKER_00]: and that's good.

25:51.315 --> 25:52.517
[SPEAKER_00]: So they moved on.

25:53.498 --> 26:05.914
[SPEAKER_00]: Much like people do, when they realize it places either too dangerous or it doesn't yield the resources and necessities that they need for them to survive in that location.

26:08.057 --> 26:10.100
[SPEAKER_00]: Who may never know what happened to these people?

26:11.281 --> 26:17.830
[SPEAKER_00]: Who may never know the true identity of

26:18.215 --> 26:20.018
