They fnuffed up w^ith both noftrils the fmoke 
whiffed out by their comrades, and came witli 
a fupplicating air prefenting to me their empty 
pipes. Determined, in purfuance of my plan, 
not to yield, I afked for oxen ; ihey offered me 
Oieep. At length, that 1 might not appear too 
eager for the change, and to throw them off 
their fcent, I affeded not to think any more on 
the fubjedl, refolvlng to have patience, and wait 
their coming about* 
However, as I perceived among the women 
fome who had the appearance of fcolding their 
hufbands, and being difpleafed becaufe they did 
not bargain with me, I thought, if I could get 
them on my fide, I fhould gain my end more 
fpeedily. I gave out, therefore, that, if they 
would bring milk to my camp, I would give 
^ row of beads a foot long for each bowlful.
