with their bows and arrows at a mark
(which is a very great recreation), pitch-
ing of quates, jumping, playing at
some kind of games, and on musical
instruments, and loitering about; so
that I have not while in this village
seen either man, or boy at any kind
of work. To see little girls, and old
women working hard with the hoe,
and boys of 12, 14 or 16 just by them
all day playing, looked hard, unnat-
ural, and to me very grievous. The
men at seasons go a hunting, and
at times a fishing, and they work the
canoe, at which, they are very handy;
There is very little game of any kind brought
in at this season of the year. I have seen
but one dear all the time we have been
among them, and I have seen no kind of
small game, except the turkey here
