  Tga'-a-ju 
  is 
  mentioned 
  as 
  a 
  Cayuga 
  village 
  by 
  De 
  Schweinitz. 
  

   This 
  was 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  their 
  principal 
  chief, 
  and 
  towns 
  were 
  some- 
  

   times 
  named 
  from 
  such 
  men. 
  I 
  do 
  not 
  find 
  this 
  the 
  case 
  here, 
  

   though 
  Zeisberger 
  fully 
  described 
  his 
  two 
  visits 
  to 
  this 
  chief 
  in 
  

   1766. 
  It 
  is 
  purely 
  a 
  chief's 
  title, 
  given 
  by 
  Morgan 
  as 
  Da-ga'-a-yo, 
  

   man 
  frightened. 
  All 
  others 
  define 
  it, 
  he 
  looks 
  both 
  ways, 
  which 
  a 
  

   frightened 
  man 
  might 
  do.

  river 
  of 
  rushes, 
  a 
  name 
  for 
  Seneca 
  

   river

  1672. 
  It 
  was 
  also 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  a 
  village, 
  and 
  came 
  from 
  

   the 
  vast 
  beds 
  of 
  flags

  near 
  Cross

  the 
  name 
  of 
  Cayuga 
  lake 
  in 
  Greenhalgh's 
  journal, 
  

   has 
  the 
  same 
  meaning.

  2 
  or 
  3 
  miles 
  from 
  it.

   On 
  the 
  map 
  of 
  Charlevoix

  is

  has 
  other 
  forms.

  Was'-co, 
  floating 
  bridge, 
  is 
  Morgan's 
  name 
  for 
  Auburn. 
  Bridges 
  

   were 
  sometimes 
  made 
  by 
  the 
  Iroquois, 
  but 
  usually 
  there 
  was 
  none 
  

   at 
  Owasco 
  lake, 
  though 
  the 
  trail 
  traversed 
  the 
  beach. 
  When 
  Zeis- 
  

   berger 
  was 
  there 
  October 
  30, 
  1766, 
  he 
  said: 
  "There 
  were 
  only 
  

   two 
  thin 
  trees, 
  the 
  thickness 
  of 
  a 
  man's 
  leg, 
  thrown 
  over 
  the 
  out- 
  

   let 
  of 
  a 
  large 
  lake, 
  which 
  had 
  an 
  awful 
  depth, 
  and 
  as 
  we 
  crossed 
  

   they 
  bent 
  so 
  far 
  down 
  that 
  you 
  would 
  be 
  in 
  water 
  up 
  to 
  your 
  knees, 
  

   and 
  therefore 
  had 
  to 
  be 
  very 
  careful 
  to 
  keep 
  your 
  balance 
  so 
  as 
  

   not 
  to 
  fall 
  into 
  the 
  water." 
  The 
  lake 
  had 
  this 
  name 
  at 
  least 
  half 
  

   a 
  century 
  earlier, 
  pointing 
  out 
  some 
  rude 
  crossing. 
  

  

  Was'-gwas, 
  long 
  bridge, 
  was 
  Morgan's

  the 
  longest 
  in 
  the 
  world.
