the privation with that resignation under inevit- 

 able suffering, which distinguishes the whole In- 

 dian race. They were at length compelled to 

 cross over to the north shore of Lake Huron, 

 where fish were more abundant ; and here they 

 remained until the end of summer, when they 

 gradually dispersed, each family repairing to its 

 winter hunting-grounds. Henry, painted and at- 

 tired like an Indian, followed his friend Wawatam, 

 and spent a lonely winter among the frozen forests, 

 hunting the bear and moose for subsistence.^ 



The posts of Green Bay and the Sault Ste. Marie 

 did not share the fate of Michillimackinac. During 

 the preceding winter, Ste. Marie had been partially 

 destroyed by an accidental fire, and was therefore

 undaunted person could not behold him without feeling some degree of 

 terror. He seemed to have passed the meridian of life, and by the mode 

 in which he was painted and tatowed, I discovered that he was of high 

 rank. However, I approaclied him in a courteous manner, and expected 

 to have met with the same reception I had done from the others ; but, to 

 my great surprise, he withheld his hand, and looking fiercely at me, said, 

 in the Chipeway tongue, ' Cawin nishishin soganosh,' that is, ' The English 

 are no good.' As he had his tomahawk in his hand, I expected that this 

 laconick sentence would have been followed by a blow ; to prevent which 

 I drew a pistol from my belt, and, holding it in a careless position, passed 

 close by him, to let him see I was not afraid of him. . . . Since I came 

 to England, I have been informed, that the Grand Sautor, having ren- 

 dered himself more and more disgustful to the English by his inveterate 

 enmity towards them, was at length stabbed in his tent, as he encamped 

 near Michillimackinac, by a trader.'' — Carver, 96.
