should do. and whether he should not attempt 
to cut through the tree with his tomahawk; but 
at length he made one desperate effort to push 
away the door, and succeeded in moving it 
several inches, when a great bank of snow fell 
in upon him from above, convincing him at 
once of the immense quantity that had fallen. 
He at length burrowed his way into the upper 
air, and found it broad daylight, and the weather 
clear and mild. The snow lay nearly four feet 
deep; but he was now enabled to distinguish his 
way, and, by examining the barks of the trees, 
returned safely to camp. 
He was received with loud shouts of congratu¬ 
lation and joy. but -not a single question was 
asked until he had despatched a hearty meal of 
venison, hominy and sugar. 
An old chief, named Tecaughnetanego then 
presented him with his own pipe, and they re¬ 
mained silent until Smith had smoked. When 
they saw him completely refreshed, the vener¬ 
able chief addressed him in a mild and affec¬ 
tionate manner, and desired to hear a particular 
account of the manner in which he had passed 
the night. Not a word was spoken until Smith 
concluded his story, "and then he was greeted on 
all sides with shouts of approbation. 
Tecaughnetanego rose and addressed him in a 
short speech, highly commending the courage, 
hardihood, and presence of mind, which the 
young white man had displayed. He was ex¬ 
horted .to go on as he had begun, and was told 
that he would one day make a very great man; 
that all his brothers rejoiced in his safety, as 
much as they had lamented his supposed death; 
that they were preparing snowshoes to go in 
search of him when he appeared; but as he had 
been .brought up effeminately among the whites, 
they never expected to see him alive. In con¬ 
clusion. he was promoted from the rank of a 
boy, to that of a warrior, and assured, that, 
when they sold skins in the spring at Detroit, 
they would purchase for him a new rifle—a 
promise, which was faithfully fulfilled. 
On one occasion, after the party, to which 
Smith belonged, had sold their beaver skins, and 
provided themselves with ammunition and blan¬ 
kets, all their surplus cash was expended in 
rum, which was bought by the keg. They then 
held a council, in which a few strong-bodied 
hunters were selected to remain sober, and pro¬ 
tect the rest during the revel, for .which they 
were preparing. Smith was courteously invited 
to get drunk, but he refused, and-was told that 
he must then join the soh^r party, and assist 
in keeping order. This, as he quickly found, 
was an extremely dangerous office. 
Before engaging in the serious business of 
drinking, the warriors carefully removed their 
tomahawks and knives, and took ever precau¬ 
tion against bloodshed. A shocking scene then 
commenced. Rum was swallowed in immense 
quantities, and the wild passions of the drinkers 
were stimulated to frenzy. Smith and the 
sober party were exposed to the most imminent 
peril, and were compelled to risk their lives 
every moment. Much mischief was done, but 
no lives were lost. 
In the Ottawa camp, where the same infernal 
orgies were celebrated, the result was more 
tragical. Several warriors were killed on the 
spot, and others badly wounded. 
Tecaughnetanego, the veteran chief, whom we 
have already mentioned, appears, to have been a
