they wore as a cloak over their shoulders. On Jan -

they had crossed oyer to the sea-side in search of 
shell-fish ; but, on the boats going in the afternoon 
for a third turn of water, two natives whom we 
had seen in the morning came towards us: one of 
them submitted his head to the effects of Mr. 
Cunningham’s scissars, which had, much to their 
gratification and delight, clipped the hair and 
beard of one of our morning visitors : a slight 
prick on the nose was not ill-naturedly taken by 
him, and excited a laugh from his companion. 
During the day the following specimen of their 
language was obtained by Mr. Cunningham
