hunt, and promised to dispatch a messenger in search 
of him early in the morning. 
The following are the names of the persons assem- 
bled: 
Munaneets, the king's uncle, 
and governor of the city. 
Salakootoo, the king's uncle. 
Tesone, Mootzazeen, Mam- 
pe, Kulipan, Mooteeree> 
Mookalluk, and Quarakan* 
After the conversation, Salakootoo remarked, that 
he had not tasted any of my tobacco yet, which re- 
mark produced a present of some. One of the queens 
brought some milk, for which she and those with her 
received a little tobacco. She asked Mr. Read for 
some snuff ; he said he did not take snuff : to which 
she shrewdly rephed, " He would have the more to 
give away on that account." 
While we were at dinner in the tent, an old man 
came opposite to the tent door, knelt down, and re- 
mained for some time in that posture, after which he 
arose and walked off 
25th. During morijing worship in our kitchen, which 
was entirely open in front, some of the people attended, 
and behaved very well. One, being asked afterwards 
if he knew what we had been about, said we prayed, 
but he did not know to whom. When told it was 
to the Great Being, he said they believed there was a 
Great Being, but they did not know him, for they had 
never seen him.
