ARRIVAL AT CHIEF SINA’S. 
207 
chief was seated in the midst of about six hundred 
closely packed warriors, anxiously awaiting our arrival. 
Directly we appeared, they all rose like one man, and 
advancing, greeted us with tremendous all-round hand¬ 
shaking, after which we were formally introduced to 
one of the best-behaved savage chiefs any of us had, 
up to the present time, been fortunate enough to fall 
in with.
