I'll take the first watch, and when it's over I'll call one of you." But Tayoga waited a little until the last glow of the sun died in the west, looking intently where the great orb had shone.

Into his religion a reverence for the sun, Giver of Light and Warmth, entered, and not until the last faint radiance from it was gone did he turn away.
Then he took from the canoe and unfolded _eyose_, his blanket, which was made of fine blue broadcloth, thick and warm but light, six feet long and four feet wide.

It was embroidered around the edges with another cloth in darker blue, and the body of it bore many warlike or hunting designs worked skillfully in thread.

If the weather were cold Tayoga would drape the blanket about his body much like a Roman toga, and if he lay in the forest at night he would sleep in it.

Now he raked dead leaves together, spread the blanket on them, lay on one half of it and used the other half as a cover.
Robert imitated him, but his blanket was not so fine as Tayoga's, although he found it soft and warm enough.
