 signified an ermine, and she was about thirty-eight years of age. 

 Shullanina, her daughter, was the eldest of three children; she 

 was decidedly the prettiest girl and had the best figure ; her cheeks 

 were rosy, and, when washed with soap and water, she looked very 

 well, and appeared to have every amiable quality. The proof she 

 gave of her obedience, by consenting to be exchanged for a wooden 

 leg, has already been dwelt upon in the Narrative, as well as her 

 subsequent marriage with her cousin Ooblooria, Ikmallik's son. 

 After which I met with the whole family at Lindsay river. At 

 Sherifi^'s harbour, a very short time after, they paid us a visit. 

 TuUuahiu had damaged the trunk part of his wooden leg; this 

 was repaired by bands of copper, and several spare legs given to 

 him before we parted for the last time, and which excited new 

 demonstrations of their gratitude and regard.
