OOBLOORIA, PANINGAVOKE, AMINGO, AND 



NULLINGIAK. 



Amingo, the sixth wife of Kanayoke, is represented sitting- at the 

 table in the cabin of the Victory, between lier two children, and an 

 infant on her shoulder whose name was Aknallua. She was 

 extremely well clothed in deer-skins, and so were her children, of 

 whom the parents were very fond. Her complexion was mnch 

 lighter and paler than the other females, and her behaviour very 

 modest and unassuming. She sat at the table, and viewed the 

 pictures that were set before her with great delight, pointing out 

 to her children every thing she thought wonderful, as soon as it 

 had been explained to herself. Her children were also very pretty, 

 the eldest about four years old, the next two and a half, and the 

 youngest about six months. After remaining some time, she 

 returned to the huts, about six miles oiT, and we had not an 

 opportunity of seeing her again. We understood that the whole 

 family had gone ofl^", with that of Kablala, to the westward. 



Ooblooria, who is represented standing with a whip in one hand 

 and a coil of line in the other, came with them. He was the eldest 

 son of Ikmallik and Apelagliu, about seventeen years of age; his 

 stature was five feet two inches and three-quarters, stout made ; his 

 dress, on this occasion, was rather ornamental as well as useful, 

 having above his deer-skin jacket, a tippet made of the belly part
