This was the first time we had been apprised that the Indians ever carried from the field any other trophy than the scalp.

These fingers were shown with great exultation; and, after an harangue, which we were left to presume was in praise of his exploits, the chief carefully replaced them among the valuable contents of his red medicine-bag.

The inhabitants of this village being part of the same nation with those of the village we had passed above, the language of the two was the same, and their houses were of similar form and materials, and calculated to contain about thirty souls.

They were unusually hospitable and good-humored, so that we gave to the place the name of the Friendly village.

We breakfasted here; and after purchasing twelve dogs, four sacks of fish, and a few dried berries, proceeded on our journey.
