favorable specimen of the Indian character. His 
religious notions had a strong influence upon his 
conduct. It so happened, that Smith, together 
with Tontileaugo and Tecaughnetanego, were 
encamped at a great distance from the rest of 
the tribe, and during the early part of the winter, 
they were very successful in hunting, and were 
abundantly supplied with all necessaries. Upon 
the occasion of the breach between Tontileaugo 
and his wife, however, Smith and the old chief 
were left in the woods, with no other company 
than that of Nungany, a little son of the latter, 
not more than ten years old. Tecaughnetanego, 
notwithstanding his age exceeded sixty, was still 
a skillful hunter, and capable of great exertion 
when in good health; but, unfortunately, he was 
subject to dreadful attacks of rheumatism, during 
which, in addition to the most excruciating pain, 
he was incapable of moving his limbs or help¬ 
ing himself in any way. Smith was but a young 
hunter, and Nungany, totally useless except as a 
cook; but while Tecaughnetanego retained the 
use of his limbs, notwithstanding the absence of 
Tontileaugo, they killed game in abundance. 
About the middle of January, however, the 
weather became excessively cold, and the old 
chief was stretched upon the floor of his wig¬ 
wam, totally unable to move. The whole care 
of the family now devolved upon Smith, and his 
exertions were not wanting. But, from his youth 
and inexperience, he was unable to provide as 
plentifully as Tontileaugo had done, and they 
were reduced to a very short allowance. 
The old chief, though constantly racked by 
the severest pains, always strove to entertain 
Smith at night with agreeable conversation, and 
instructed him carefully, and repeatedly in the 
art of hunting. At length, the snow became 
hard and crusty; and the noise of Smith’s foot¬ 
steps frightened the deer, so that, with the ut¬ 
most caution, he was unable to get within gun¬ 
shot. The family, in consequence, were upon 
the verge of starvation. 
One evening, Smith entered the hut, faint and 
weary, after a hunt of two days, during, which 
he had eaten nothing. Tecaughnetanego had 
fasted for the same length of time, and both had 
been upon short allowance for a week. Smith 
came in very moodily, and laying aside his gun 
and powderhorn, sat down by the fire in silence. 
Tecaughnetanego inquired mildly and calmly, 
what success he had had. Smith answered, that 
they must starve, as the deer were so wild, that 
he could not get within gunshot, and it was too 
far to go to any Indian settlement for food. 
The old man remained silent for a moment.
