The men, and sometimes even the women, came to the hut and sat down and tried to talk with them.

The boys did their best to learn, asking the name of every article, and repeating it until they had thoroughly learned it, the Indians applauding like children when they attained the right pronunciation.
The next morning they saw a young Indian starting alone, with his bow and arrow.

Anxious to see how he was going to proceed, by himself, the boys asked if they might accompany him.

He assented, and together they started off.
After an hour's walking, they arrived at an eminence from which an extensive view could be obtained.

Here their companion motioned to them to lie down and watch his proceedings.
