I very much doubt if the doctor's remedies were as successful, for they were made up in small tablets and globules, very convenient for travel- ling indeed, but then they lacked the unpleasant taste and bulk which the sick of the district believed to be indispensable to a complete cure. On Sunday Pollen and Round came up from ' The Crossing' with the pack-horses, having had hard work on the previous evening ferrying them across the river. They told us that Daukhan Tustowits was already at the river-bank, and he rode up in the morning, accompanied by John Knot. Daukhan was a small wiry man about forty years of age, with thin black hair upon his chin. The pure Indian grows little or no hair on his face; but Daukhan had white blood, and indeed somewhat resembled the ideal French cavalry officer in appearance. His manners were perfect, and the neatness of his speeches, which Round interpreted, was beyond.
