and inserted the roster of founders obtained from Hale's informant, 

 Old Smoke Johnson (i793?-i887), who used the orthography which 

 Anglican missionaries had devised for Mohawk. Let us see how 

 Newhouse, who wrote in both Indian English and in his native Mo- 

 hawk, framed his lines. 



I am glad, I am glad, Now hear ye. I am glad, 



I am glad. The Rules of the Great Peace. I am glad, 



I am glad, Which have been established by you. I am glad, 



I am glad. Now it has become an ancient rule. I am glad. 



I am glad, Nothing now remains. I am glad, 



I am glad. But bushes here and there. I am glad, 



I am glad. Your bones are now in the graves. I am glad, 



I am glad, Ye who have made the Rules. — I am glad. 



I am glad, Ye have taken there with you. I am glad, 

 I am glad. There you have them under you. I am glad, 

 I am glad. Really there are only deserted fields. I am glad, 

 I am glad. There your brains are buried. I am glad. 



I am glad, There ye have them under your heads. I am glad, 



I am glad. Ye who have made the Rules. I am glad, 



I am glad. You have taken them with you. I am glad, 



I am glad, Ye have the rules under you as a mat. I am glad. 



I am glad. You did establish the rules. I am glad, 



I am glad, Of the Great Peace. I am glad, 



I am glad. Now indeed, I am glad. Hear ye, I am glad. 



I am glad. Ye who were rulers (founders). I am glad, 



I am glad, Teh-ka-rih-ho-kenl I am glad (etc.). 



Now as to the cane (fig. 2), Beneath the name A SPRAG come 

 approximately eight circles, which, I judge, may stand for the repeti- 

 tion of Hai Hai, that many times (i, a). I am at a loss to interpret 

 the five tracks beside the circles (i, h), unless, possibly, they stand 

 for the Five Nations which are denominated by the titles of their five 

 leading chiefs — Tekarihoken, Odatchehdeh, Adodarhonh, Deka'en- 

 yonh, and Skanyadariyoh — in the preface to the version of Joshua 

 Buck. (Cf. pi. 7, b.)
