Kind reception among the Agows—Their Number, Trade, Charatter, 
Se. 
FTER having given my reader fo long, though, I 
hope, no unentertaining lecture, it is time to go back 
to Woldo, whom we had left fettling our reception with 
the chief of the village of Geefh. We found the meafures 
taken by this man fuch as convinced us at once of his capa- 
city and attachment. The miferable Agows, affembled all 
around him, were too much interefted in the appearance we 
made, not to be exceedingly inquifitive how long our ftay 
was to be among them. They faw, by the horfe driven be- 
fore us, we belonged to Fafil, and fufpected, for the fame 
reafon, that they were to maintain us, or, in other words, 
that we fhould live at difcretion upon them as long as we 
chofe to tarry there; but Woldo, with great addrefs, had 
‘difpelled thefe fears almoft as foon as they were formed.
