  he 
  passed 
  sentence. 
  They 
  might 
  live 
  either 
  at 
  Shamokin 
  or 
  

   Wyoming, 
  " 
  and 
  then 
  we 
  shall 
  have 
  you 
  more 
  under 
  our 
  Eye., 
  

   and 
  shall 
  see 
  how 
  You 
  behave. 
  Don't 
  deliberate, 
  but 
  remove 
  

   away, 
  and 
  take 
  this 
  Belt 
  of 
  Wampum." 
  He 
  summed 
  up 
  as 
  fol- 
  

   lows 
  and 
  dismissed 
  them 
  : 
  

  

  This 
  String 
  of 
  Wampum 
  serves 
  to 
  forbid 
  You, 
  Your 
  Children 
  

   and 
  Grand 
  Children, 
  to 
  the 
  latest 
  Posterity, 
  from 
  ever 
  meddling 
  

   in 
  Land 
  Affairs, 
  neither 
  you 
  nor 
  any 
  who 
  shall 
  descend 
  from 
  You, 
  

   are 
  ever 
  hereafter 
  to 
  presume 
  to 
  sell 
  any 
  Land, 
  for 
  which 
  Purpose 
  

   you 
  are 
  to 
  Preserve 
  this 
  string 
  in 
  Memory 
  of 
  what 
  your 
  Uncles 
  

   have 
  this 
  Day 
  given 
  You 
  in 
  Charge. 
  We 
  have 
  some 
  other 
  Busi- 
  

   ness 
  to 
  transact 
  with 
  our 
  Brethren, 
  and 
  therefore 
  depart 
  the 
  Coun- 
  

   cil 
  and 
  consider 
  what 
  has 
  been 
  said 
  to 
  you. 
  

  

  The 
  Delawares 
  left 
  the 
  council 
  as 
  ordered, 
  and 
  it 
  soon 
  con- 
  

   cluded. 
  Weiser 
  conducted 
  the 
  large 
  Iroquois 
  delegation 
  to 
  his 
  

   house 
  in 
  Tulpehocken, 
  where 
  Count 
  Zinzendorf 
  had 
  an 
  inter- 
  

   esting 
  meeting 
  with 
  the 
  chiefs. 
  He 
  was 
  much 
  impressed 
  by 
  

   them 
  and 
  received 
  a 
  string 
  of 
  wampum 
  inviting 
  him 
  to 
  Onondaga. 
  

  

  There 
  was 
  a 
  good 
  deal 
  of 
  negotiation 
  about 
  the 
  encounter 
  in 
  

   Virginia, 
  but 
  at 
  last 
  all 
  was 
  ready 
  for 
  a 
  final 
  settlement. 
  Shi- 
  

   kellimy 
  and 
  Saghsidowa 
  were 
  sent 
  to 
  Onondaga 
  in 
  April 
  1743 
  

   and 
  were 
  told 
  that 
  a 
  way 
  there 
  had 
  been 
  cleared 
  for 
  the 
  former 
  

   and 
  Weiser. 
  One 
  of 
  those 
  killed 
  was 
  a 
  cousin 
  of 
  Shikellimy 
  and 
  

   he 
  was 
  condoled. 
  The 
  Six 
  Nations 
  sent 
  a 
  message 
  about 
  the 
  

   Juniata 
  lands, 
  but 
  none 
  to 
  the 
  governor 
  of 
  Virginia, 
  because 
  he 
  

   had 
  not 
  washed 
  off 
  the 
  blood 
  and 
  taken 
  the 
  hatchet 
  out 
  of 
  their 
  

   head. 
  If 
  he 
  would 
  do 
  this, 
  they 
  would 
  talk 
  to 
  him. 
  He 
  readily 
  

   consented 
  if 
  Weiser 
  would 
  do 
  what 
  was 
  necessary. 
  The 
  deputies 
  

   set 
  out 
  in 
  company 
  with 
  John 
  Bartram, 
  the 
  naturalist, 
  and 
  Lewis 
  

   Evans, 
  the 
  geographer, 
  reaching 
  Onondaga 
  July 
  21, 
  Both 
  Bar- 
  

   tram 
  and 
  Weiser 
  wrote 
  full 
  accounts, 
  according 
  to 
  their 
  per- 
  

   sonal 
  tastes, 
  and 
  Evans 
  made 
  a 
  map 
  of 
  the 
  route. 
  The 
  trip 
  was 
  

   highly 
  satisfactory, 
  and 
  arrangements 
  were 
  made 
  for 
  another 
  

   council 
  at 
  Lancaster 
  Pa. 
  Tochanuntie, 
  or 
  the 
  Black 
  Prince, 
  

   and 
  Canassatego 
  were 
  prominent 
  in 
  these 
  affairs. 
  

  

  That 
  year 
  it 
  was 
  reported 
  from 
  Detroit 
  that 
  600 
  Senecas, 
  Onon- 
  

   dagas 
  and 
  other 
  Iroquois 
  had 
  settled 
  at 
  the 
  mouth 
  of 
  White 
  

   river 
  and 
  were 
  friendly 
  to 
  the 
  French.
