Wzokhilain (P. P.) — Continued. 



Pierre Paul Osunkhirhine, afterwards known 

 as "Masta," was an Indian of St. Francis. 

 He received a good education at Moore's 

 Charity School, Hanover, N. H., and returned 

 to his native village as a Protestant missionary. 

 In his tract and primer in the Penobscot lan- 

 guage his name on the title-page was necessa- 

 rily printed Wzokhilain, because it could not be 

 more exactly transliterated into that language.
