AN OLD STOEY OF THE NEW WORLD. 37 



three months more alongst that river, and that along 

 the hills that are on the north side there is a great 

 river, which (even as the other) cometh from the west, 

 we thought it to be the river that runneth through 

 the countrey of Saguenay, and without any signe or 

 question mooved or asked of them, they tooke the 

 chayne of our capitaines whistle, which was of silver, 

 and the dagger-haft of one of our fellow mariners, 

 hanging on his side being of yellow copper guilt, and 

 shewed us that such stuffe came from the said river, 

 and that there be Agojudas, that is as much to say, an 

 evill people, who goe all armed even to their fingers' 

 ends. Also they shewed us the manner of their 

 armour, they are made of cordes and wood, finely and 

 cunningly wrought together. They gave us also to 

 understand e that those Agojudas doe continually 

 warre one against another, but because we did not 

 understand them well, we could not perceive how farre 

 it was to that country. Our capitaine shewed them 

 redde copper, which in their language they call Caque- 

 daze, and looking towarde that countrey, with signes 

 asked them if any came from thence, they shaking 

 their heads answered no ; but they shewed us that it 

 came from Saguenay, and that lyeth cleane contrary 

 to the other. After we had heard and seene these 

 things of them we drewe to our boates accompanied 

 with a great multitude of those people ; some of them 

 when as they sawe any of our fellowes weary, would 

 take them up on their shoulders, and carry them 

 as on horseback."
