This morning a Chief, whose Name is Oamo, and one we had not seen before, came to the Fort.

There came with him a Boy about 7 Years of Age and a Young Woman of about 18 or 20.

At the Time of their coming Obariea and several others were in the fort.

They went out to meet them, having first uncovered their Heads and Bodies as low as their Waists; and the same thing was done by all those that were on the outside of the Fort.

As we looked upon this as a Ceremonial respect, and had not seen it paid to any one before, we thought that this Oamo must be some extraordinary person, and wondered to see so little notice taken of him after the Ceremony was over.
