Margaret had circulated the report that the Indian was of the Iroquois tribe, and as brave a man as ever drew a bow. He wanted for nothing.

The Governor took a deep interest in him, and secured a vast amount of information from him respecting the character and movements of the Indians on the St.John.One of the officers of the navy presented him with a complete suit of navy-blue clothes, and an officer of the garrison fitted him out with a second-hand undress military suit.
