Sunday.—Fine weather, wind W. Travelled S. W. by W. 15 miies Level land, and ledges of fmall woods We were joined by feven ArchithL nues on horfeback, who informed us that we fhould fee the great Leader and numbers of the Archithinues to-morrow. Indians killed feveral Buffa- loes J they are numerous all round us. MoNDAY.—Fine weather, wind N. E. Travelled S. W. by W. four miles; then came to us 40 men on horfeback; they told us they were fenc from the main body, to enquire whether we were friends or enemies. We told them we were friends. ^CocamanakiftcKznd the reft of the leaders, walked in the; front about four miles further. Then we came to two hundred tents of Archithinues Indians, pitched in two rows, and an opening in the middle; where we were conduded to the Leader's tent, which was at one end, large enough to contain fifty people, where he was feated on a clean Buffalo's fkin, attended by twenty elderly men. He made figns to me to fit down on his right hand, which I did. Our leaders feton feveral grand pipes, and fmoked all round, according to their ufual cuftom. Not one word was yet fpokt on either fide. Smoking being done, Buffalo flelh boiled was handed round in willow baficets, and I was prefented with ten Buffaloes tongues. Atickofijh then informed him, that I was fent by the great leader, who lives down at the great waters, to invite his young men down to fee him, and to bring with them Beaver and Wolves, and they would get in return powder, fhot, guns, and cloth, &c. He made little or no anfwer, more than that it was far off, and that they could not paddle J then they entered upon indifferent fubjefts, until we were ordered to depart to our tents, which were ready pitched about a quarter of a mile from them.
