to me. What made me so desirous of preventing an union 
with Umyeki, was a desire to prevent a quarrel with Faku. 
Faku has many times threatened to come against the tribes 
around Morley, but by the influence of the Missionaries at 
Buntingville and Morley has been prevented. Umyeki’s de- 
sign was to get all the Captains on this side the river to join

Cetani and you are one; | am therefore come here to be
