Akaitcho had seen Terregannoeuck soon after our departure; he was much terrified and thrust his spear at him as he had done at Augustus, but was soon reconciled after the demonstrations of kindness the Indians made in cutting off the buttons from their dress to present to him.
July 17.
We waited all this forenoon in momentary expectation of the return of Augustus and Junius but as they did not appear at two P.M.I sent Mr.
Hood with a party of men to inquire into the cause of their detention and to bring the meat which Terregannoeuck had promised us.

He returned at midnight with the information that none of the Esquimaux had yet ventured to come near Terregannoeuck except his aged wife, who had concealed herself amongst the rocks at our first interview, and she told him the rest of the party had gone to a river a short distance to the westward where there was another party of Esquimaux fishing.

Augustus and Junius had erected the tent and done everything in their power to make the old man comfortable in their absence.

Terregannoeuck, being unable to walk to the place where the meat was concealed, readily pointed the spot out to Mr.Hood who went thither but, after experiencing much difficulty in getting at the column of rock on which it was deposited, he found it too putrid for our use.

The features of Terregannoeuck's wife were remarkable for roundness and flatness; her face was much tattooed and her dress differed little from the old man's.
In the afternoon a party of nine Esquimaux appeared on the east bank of the river about a mile below our encampment, carrying their canoes and baggage on their backs, but they turned and fled as soon as they perceived our tents.
