 Mexico. — Orozco v Berra, Geog., 280,

Combahee. A small tribe formerly liv- 

 ing on Combahee r. , S. C. Little is known 

 of its history, as it early became extinct. 

 See Rivers, Hist. S. C, 94, 1874. 



Comcomly. A Chinook chief. He re- 

 ceived the Lewis and Clark expedition 

 hospitably when it emerged at the mouth 

 of Columbia r. in 1805, and when the 

 Astor expedition arrived to take posses- 

 sion of the country for the United States 

 he cultivated close friendship with the 

 pioneers, giving his daughter as wife to 

 Duncan M'Dougal, the Canadian who 

 was at their head. Yet he was probably 

 an accomplice in a plot to massacre the 



garrison and seize the stores. When a 

 British ship arrived in 1812 to capture the 

 fort at Astoria, he offered to tight the 

 enemy, with 800 warriors at his back. 

 The American agents, however, had al- 

 ready made a peaceful transfer by bargain 

 and sale, antl gifts and promises from the 

 new owners immediately made him their 

 friend (Bancroft, N. W. Coast; Irving, 

 Astoria). Writing in Aug., 1844, Father 

 De Smet (Chittenden and Richardson, 

 De Smet, ii, 443, 1905) states tliat in the 

 days of his glory Comcomly on his visits 

 to Vancouver would he preceded by 300 

 slaves, "and he used to carpet the ground 

 that he had to traverse, from the main 

 entrance of the fort to the governor's 

 door, several hundred feet, with beaver 

 and otter skins." 



Comecrudo ( ' eaters of raw meat ' ) . One 

 of the few tribes of theCoahuiltecan fam- 

 ily that have been identified. The sur- 

 viving remnant was visited in 1886 by 

 Gatschet, who found only 8 or 10 old per- 

 sons who could speak the dialect, living 

 on the s. side of the Rio Grande, 2 of 

 them at Las Prietas, Coahuila. Crozco 

 y Berra (Geog., 293, map, 1864) placed 

 them in Tamaulipas, Mexico, in the 

 vicinity of the Tedexeiios. They appear 

 to have been known in later times as 

 Carrizos, q. v.^ 



Estok pakai peyap. — Gatschet, Comecrudo MS., 

 B. .A. E. ( = ' Indians eaters raw'), vaima aran- 

 guas. — Ibid. ( = ' Indians of this locality ': Coto- 

 nam name). 



Comeya. Apparently a collective name 

 indefinitely applied to the Yuman tribes 

 from San Diego eastward to the lower Rio 

 Colorado. By many authors it has been 

 assumed to be synonymous with Diegueno, 

 which doubtless it was in part. Just what 

 tribes it included can not now be told, but 

 the term is here applied only to interior 

 tribes, the Diegueno about San Diego be- 

 ing excluded. (See Cuneil. ) When vis- 

 ited by Anza, Garces, and Font, in 1775, 

 the ' ' Quemaya ' ' wore sandals of maguey 

 fiber and descended from their own ter- 

 ritorv (which began at the mountains, in 

 lat. 33° 08", some 100 m. to the n. w. of 

 the mouth of New r. in n. e. Lower Cali- 

 fornia, and extended as far as San Diego) 

 to eat calabashes and other fruits of the 

 river. They were described as "very 

 dirty, on account of the much mezcal 

 they eat; their idiom is foreign to those 

 of the river" (Garces, Diary, 1775, 165, 

 197, et seq., 1900). They were also vis- 

 ited in 1826 bv Lieut. Hardy (Trav. in 

 Mex., 368-372, 1829), who fouiid them on 

 the Colorado just above the mouth of the 

 Gila, and who described them, iinder the 

 name Axua ( which, he says, is their trilial 

 name), as being very numerous and filthy 

 in their habits; to overcome vermin they 

 coated their hair with mud, with which 

 they also painted their bodies, and ' ' on
