CHAPTER X
16/22

Mrs.Godfrey and Mrs.Fowler were then taken to the mouth of the river by Jim, where they secured the services of a man named Cock to accompany Newall up the river and assist him in digging a grave.

A person by the name of Farris presented Mrs.Godfrey with a British flag, which he wished displayed at Paul's burial.
The following morning, according to an agreement, Newall came to the settlement and took Margaret G.and Mrs.Fowler to the wigwam which should hold the noble Paul no more forever.

The British ensign was drawn over the body of the dead Indian.

He lay in a sort of state till next day, the body being viewed by many of the Indians of the district, and also by not a few people from the settlement.
