 poet alludes to his bravery in overcoming 

 temptation. See also Mass. Hist. Soc.

 Aivilirmiut Eskimo on Kepulse bay, n. 

 end of Hudson bay.— Boas in (3th Rep.

Naumkeag ('fishing place,' from na-' 

 mam 'lish,' kl 'place,' -ag 'at'). A 

 tribe or band, i)robably belonging to the 

 Pennacook confederacy, which formerly 

 occupied the site of Salem, Mass. It ap- 

 pears, however, that the natives had aban- 

 doned the locality before the English 

 reached it, as there is no record that the 

 latter found any Indians on the spot. It 

 has been noticed in regai-d to the native 

 burials in this locality that the bodies 

 were usually placed in a sitting posture.

Nause. A former tribe or probably a 

 subdivision of the Nanticoke in Dorches- 

 ter CO., Md. In 1608 their principal vil- 

 lage, of the same name, was on the n. 

 bank of Nanticoke r., near its mouth. —

Nauset. An Algonquian tribe formerly 

 living in Massachusetts, on that part of C. 

 Cod E. of Bass r., forming a part of or 

 being under control of the Wampanoag. 



A writer ( Coll. Mass. Hist. Soc. , 1st s. , viii, 

 159, 1802) says: "The Indians in the 

 county of Barnstable were a distinct peo- 

 ple, but they were subject in some respects 

 .to the chief sachem of the Wampanoags." 

 They probably came in contact with the 

 whites at an early date, as the cape was 

 frequently visited by navigators. From 

 this tribe Hunt in 1614 carried off 7 natives 

 and sold them into slavery with 20 In- 

 dians of Patuxet. Champlain had an en- 

 counter with the Nauset immediately be- 

 fore returning to Europe. They seem to 

 have escaped the great pestilence which 

 prevailed along the New England coast 

 in 161 7. Although disposed to attack the 

 colonists at their first meeting, they be- 

 came their fast friends, and with few

exceptions remained faithful to them 

 through King Philip's war, even in some 

 instances lendingassistance. JNIostof them 

 had been Christianized })efore this war 

 broke out. Their estimated jnipulationin 

 1621 was 500, but this is proljably below 

 their real strength at that time, as they 

 seem to have num])ei'ed as many 80 years 

 afterward. About 1710, by wliich time 

 they were all organized into churches, 

 they lost a great many by fever. In 1764 

 they had decreased to 106, living mainly 

 at Potanumaquut, but in 1802 only 4 were 

 said to remain. Their principal village, 

 Nauset, was near the present Eastham. 

 Although their location indicates that 

 fish furnished their chief sustenance, the 

 Nauset were evidently cultivators of the 

 soil, as supplies of corn and beans were
