the French by the tribe by whom lie had been 
captured, and was immediately surrendered into 
their hands. 
The party embarked in canoes, and ascended 
the. Allegany River, as far as a small Indian 
town about forty miles above Fort Du Quesne. 
There they abandoned their canoes, and striking 
into the woods, traveled in a western direction 
until they arrived at a considerable Indian town, 
in what is now the State of Ohio. This village 
was called Tullihas, and was situated upon the 
western branch of the Muskingum. 
During the whole of this period. Smith suffered 
much anxiety, from the uncertainty of his future 
fate, but at this town all doubt was removed. 
On the morning of his arrival, the principal 
members of the tribe gathered around him; and 
one old man, with much gravity, began to pluck 
out his hair by the roots,“while the others looked 
on in silence, smoking their pipes with great 
deliberation. 
Smith did not understand the design of this 
singular ceremony, but submitted very patiently 
to the man’s labors, who performed the opera¬ 
tion of picking him, with great dexterity, dip¬ 
ping his fingers in ashes, occasionally, in order 
to take a better hold. In a very few moments 
Smith’s head was bald, with the exception of a 
single long tuft upon the center of his crown, 
called the 'scalp-lock. This was carefully planted 
in such a manner as to stand upright, and was 
ornamented with several silver brooches. His 
ears and nose were then hored by the old Indian, 
with his usual gravity, and then ordered to strip; 
which being done, his naked body was painted 
with various fantastic colors, and a breech-cloth 
fastened round hisdoins., A belt of wampum was 
placed around his neck, -and silver bands around 
his right "arm. 
To all this,' Smith submitted with much 
anxiety, being totally ignorant of their customs, 
and dreading lest, like the British prisoners, he 
had' been stripped- and painted for the stake. His 
alarm was increased, when an old chief arose, 
took him by the arm, and leading him out into 
the open air, gave three shrill whoops, and was 
immediately surrounded by all the inhabitants 
of the village, warriors, women and children. 
.The chief then addressed the crowd in a long 
speech, still holding Smith by the hand. When 
he had ceased speaking, he led the captive for¬ 
ward, and delivered him into the hands of three 
young Indian girls, who, grappling him with¬ 
out ceremony, pulled him toward the river which 
ran at the foot of the hill, dragged him’into 
the water up to his breast, and, all three sud¬ 
denly clapping their hands upon his head, at¬ 
tempted to put him under. Utterly desperate 
at the idea of being drowned by these forward 
young ladies, Smith made a manful resistance. 
The squaws persevered, and a prodigious splash¬ 
ing of water took place amid loud peals of 
laughter from the shore. 
At length one of the squaws became alarmed 
at the furious struggles of the young white man, 
and cried out earnestly several times, “No hurt 
you! no hurt you!" Upon this agreeable intel¬ 
ligence, Smith's resistance ceased; and these 
gentle creatures plunged him under the water, 
and scrubbed him from head to foot with equal 
zeal and perseverance. As soon as they had 
finished, they led him ashore, and presented him 
to the chief, shivering with cold and dripping 
with water. 
The Indians then dressed him in a ruffled 
shirt, leggins and moccasins, variously orna¬ 
mented ; seated him upon a bearskin, and gave 
him a pipe, tomahawk, some tobacco, a pouch, 
flint and steel. The chiefs then took their seats 
by his side, and smoked for several minutes in 
deep silence, when the eldest delivered a speech, 
through an interpreter, in the following words: 
“Mv son, you ar.e now one of us. Hereafter you 
have nothing to fear. By an ancient custom, you 
have been adopted in the room of a brave man, 
who has fallen; and every drop of white blood 
has been washed from your veins. We are now 
your brothers, and are bound by our laws to love 
you, to defend you, and to avenge your injuries, 
as much as if you had been born among us.” 
He was then introduced to the members of the 
family, into which he had been adopted, and 
was received by the whole of them with lively
