ATXJItAi-

YOM,

iDyoMty-

Afteu residing nearly a year in one
of the most distiint posts of tlie North-
west t^ompany, and conducting the fur
trade there, I began to loolc forward to
my return to Montreal. I waited with
the greatest impatijnce for the arrival
of theperiod whiclnvas to terminate my
banishment, and restore me to society.
I was nearly tliree tliousand miles dis-
fcmt from any settlements, and my on-
ly companions were two young men,
clerks of the establishment, wliosecha-
racters,and limited acquirements, ren-
dered them very iminteresting associ-
ates. My situation wus one of consi-
derable responsibility. A great num-
ber of Canadians, in the service of the
Company, resided at the post, and
were under my controul ; but I found
it a very difficult matter to keep them
in a state of due subordination, and to
prevent them from quarrelling and
Hghting with the detached parties of
Indians that occasionally visited us
for the purpose of trading. Interest
and personal safety, alike, required
that we should be on friendly terms
with the natives ; and I spent many
anxious hours in endeavouring to pro-
mote mutual peace and good-l.omour.

Our post was situated ujwn thebanks
of a small lake, about sixteen miles
broad. This lake discharged itself by
means of a river into another of much
greater dimensions, and thick forests
covered every part of the neighbouring
country.

One afternoon I took my gun, and
strolled out in search of game. Though
it was now the beginning of spring, the
lake was still frozen completely across,
the cold of the preceding winter having
been very intense. I soon fell in with
a flock of wild ducks, but before I
could get a shot at them, they began
to fly towards the middle of the lake ;
however, I followed them fearlessly
over the ice, in the exiK^ctation tiurt
they would soon alight. The weather
was mild, thongh rather blowy. De-
tached black clouds moved rapidly
along the face of Heaven in immense
masses, and the sun blazed forth in
unobscured splendour at one moment,
and was completely siirouderl from the
eye the next. I was so intent on the
pursuit of my game, that I hastened
forwards almost imconsciously, my
progress Iwing much facilitated by a

SLo^-S'^A-

thin layer of snow which covered the
ice, and rendered the footing tolerably
secure. At last, I fired at the ducks,
and killed one and wounded another.
I immediately picked up the first, but
its companion, having only been wing-
ed, began to leap away before I cauj;ht
hold of it. I followed, but had not
advanced more than twenty yards,
wiien, to my astonishment, I found
that the ice was in many places cover-
ed with water to the de])th of several
inches. I stopped short full of alarm,
and irresolute what to do. It was evi-
dent that a thaw had already connnen-
ced, and as I well knew with what ra-
pidity the ice broke up when once af-
fected by a change of temperature, I
became alive to all the dangers of my
situation, and almost shuddered at the
thought of moving from the sjwt on
which I stood.

The weather had grown calm and
hazy, and the sky was very black and
lowering. Large flakes of snow soon
began to fall languidly and perpendi-
cularly through the air; and after a
little time, these were accompanied by
a thick shower of sleety rain, which
gradually became so dense, that I could
not discern the shore. I strained my
eyes to CAtch a glance of some living
object, but a dre-ary and motionless
expanse stretched aroiind me on every
side, and the appalling silence that
prevailed was sometimes interrupted
by the ri>ce«ling cries of the wounded
bird. All nature seemed to be await-
ing some terrible event. I listened in
fearful suspense, tlunigh I knew not
what I exj/ected to hear. I soon dis-
tinguished a distant thundering noise,
whicli gradually became stronger, and
appeared to approach the place where
I stood. Repeated explosions, and hol-
low munnurings of irregular loudiiess,
were succeeded by a tremendous scmnd,
like that ot" rocks bursting asunder.
The ice trembled beneath my feet, and
the next moment it was disunited by
a vast chasm, which opened itself
within a few yards of me. The water
of the lake rushed upwards through
the gap with foaming fury, and began
to flocKl the surface all around.

I started liack wards, and run, as I
conceived, towards the shore; bui my
)n-ogress was soon stopped by one of
those weak parts of the ice called air-

Adventure in (he North- West Territuri}, C^cpt.

Wliilc walking cautiously round drowsiness, produced by intense cold,

would begin to affect me ; but I did
not feel in the slightest degree chilled,
and the teinperuture of the air was in

holes.

it, my mind grew somewhat coiri posed,
and I resolved not to advance any fur-
ther, until I had fixed upon some way
of regulating niy course ; but I found
this to be inijiossible. I vainly endea-
voured to discern land, and the moan-
ing of the wiiul among the distant fo-
rests alone indicated that there was any
at all near me. Strong and irregular
blasts, loaded with snow and sleet,
swept wildly along, involving every
thing in obscurity, and bewildering
my steps with malignant influence. I
sometimes fancied I saw the spot where
our post was situated, and even the
trees and houses upon it ; but the next
moment a gust of wind would whirl
away the fantastic sha])ed fogs that had
produced the agreeable illusion, anil
reduce me to actionless despair. I fi-
red my gun repeatedly, in tlie hope
that the report would bring some one
to my assistance ; however, the shores
alone acknowledged, by feeble echoes,
that the sound hud reached them.

The storm increased in violence, and
at intervals the sound of the ice break-
ing up, rolled upon my ear like distant
thunder, and seemed to mutter a])pal-
ling threats. Alarm and fatigue made
me dizzy, and I threw down my gun
and ruslied forwards in tlie face of the
drifting showers, which were now so
thick as to affect my respiration. I
soon lost all sense of fear, and began
to feel a sort of frantic delight in
strugghng against the careering blasts.
1 hurried on^ sometimes running along
the brink of a circular opening in the
ice, aiul sometimes leaping across
frightful chasms — all the while un-
conscious of having any object in
view. The ice every where creaked
under my feet, and I knew that death
awaited me, whether I fled away or
remained on the same spot. I felt as
one would do, if forced by some perse-
cuting fiend to range over the surface
of a black and shoreless ocean ; and
aware, that whenever his tormentor
withdrew his sustaining power, he
would sink down and be suffocated
among the billows that struggled be-
neath him.

At last night came on, and, exhaust-
ed by fatigue and mental excitement,
1 wrapped myself in ray cloak, and lay
down upon the ice. It was so dark
that I could not have moved one step
without running the risk of falUng in-
to the lake. I almost wished that the

e
reality above free/ing. I had lain only a
few minutes when I heard the howl of
a wolf. The sound was indescribably
delightful to my ear, and I started up
with the intention of hastening to the
s|)ot from whence it seemed to pro-
ceed ; but hopeless as my situation
then was, my heart shrunk within me
when I contemplated the dangers I
would encounter in making such an
attempt. My courage failed, and I
resinned my former position, and hst-
ened to the undulations of the water
as they undermined, and beat against
the lower part of the ice on which l
lay.

About midnight the storm ceased,
and most of the clouds gradually for-
sook the sky, while the rising moon
dis])elled the darkness tliat had ijre-
viously prevailed. However, a thick
haze covered the heavens, and ren-
dered her light dim and gliastly, and
sinular to that shed during an ccUpsc.
A succession of noises had continued
with Utile interruption for several
hours, and at List the ice beneath me
began to move. I started up, and, on
looking around, saw that the whole
surface of the lake was in a state of
agitation. Aly eyes became dim, and
I stretched out my arms to catch hold
of some object, and felt as if all crea-
ted things were passing away. The
hissing, grinding, and crasliing, pro-
duced by the different masses of ice
coming into collision, were tremen-
dous. I-,arge fragments sometimes got
wedged together, and impeded the pro-
gress of those behind them, wliich be-
ing pushed forward by others still far-
ther back, were forced upon the top of
the first, and fantastic-shaped pyra-
mids and towers could be indistinctly
seen rising among the mists of night,
and momentarily changing their fonus,
and finally disorganizing themselves
with magical rapidity and fearful tu-
mult. At other times, an immense
mass of ice would start up into «
perpendicular position, and c;*ntinue
gleaming in the moonsliine for a little
period, and then vanish like a spectre
among the abyss of waters beneath it>
The piece of iee on which I had first
taken my position, happened to be
very large and thick, but other frag-
ments were soon forced above it, and

My alarmii and anxieties had gradually
become less intense, and I was several
times overcome by a sort of stupor ;
during the coi nuance of whieli, ima-
gination and reality combined their
distracting influence. At one time I
fancied that tile snow still drifted us
violently as ever, and that I distin-
guished, through its hu/,y niediuni, a
imnd of Indian chiefs walking past me
ujwn the surtiice of the lake. Their
steps were noiseless, and they went
aloiig with wan and dcjectid looks ;ind
downcast eyes, and paid uo attention
to my exclamations iuid critreaties for
relief. At another, I thought I was
Hoathig in tiie middle of the ocean,
and that a blazing sun Hamed in the
eloudlusH sky, aud made the ice which
Mupportwl me melt so fast, that I heard attempt to convince them of the truth

I'hick fo-
rests covered the hanksof the river, and
extended back as far as n)y eye co\d(l
reach. I feared to penetrate them, lest I
should get bewildered in their recesses,
and accordingly walked along the edge
of the stream. It was not long before I
discovered a column of smoke rising
among ttie trees. I immediately di-
recteu my ste])8 towar<l8 the spot, and,
on reaching it, found a party seated
round a lire.

They received me with an air of
inditferwice and unconcern, not very
agreeable or encouraging to one in my
destitute condition. Ilowo*'er, I pla-
ced myself in their circle, aud tried to
discover to what tribe they belonged,
by addressing them in the diflerent
Indian Luignages with which I was
aoijuainted. I soon made myself in-
telligil)le, anil related the circumstan-
ces that had brought me so unexpect-
edly amot.g them. At the conclusion
of my narrative, the men puhed their
tomahawk pipes from their mouths,
and looked at each other with incre-
dulous smiles. I did not make any

streams of water pouring from its sides,
and felt myself every moment descend-
ing towards tht surface of the billows.
I was usually wakened from such
dreams by some noise or violent con-
cussion, but always relapsed into them
-whenever the cause of disturbance cea-
sed to operate.

The longest and last of these slum-
Ikts was broken by a terrible shock,
which my ice ittlaml received, and
which threw me from my seat, and
nearly pre«ipitate<l me into the lake.
<)« regaining my former position, and
looking round, I perceived to my joy
and astonishment, that I was in a river.
The water between me and the shore
was still frozen over, and was about

of what I said, knowing it would be
vain to do so, but asked for something
to eat. After some deliberation, tliey
gave mc a small quantity ct pemiean,
but with an unwillingness that did
not evince such a spirit of hospitality
as I had usually met with among In-
dians.

The party consisted of three men,
two women, and a couple of children,
all of whom sat or lay near the fire in
absolute idleness; and their minds
seemetl to be as tmoccupieil as their bo-
dies, for nothing reseniljling conversa-
tion ever passed between them. The
weather was dreary and comfortless.

not approach any nearer than this.
After a moment of irresolution, I leap-
ed upon the fVozen surface, and began
to run towards the bank of the river.
My feet seemtnl scarcely to touch the
ice, so great was my terror lest it should
give way beneath me ; but I reached
the shore in safety, antl dropped down
completely exhausted by fatigue and
agitation.

which we sat affbrde<l but an imperfect
shelter from it, I passed the time in
the most gloomy and desponding re-
flections. I saw no means by whicli
I could return to the trading post, and
the behaviour of the Indians made n)o
doubt if they would be inclined to
grant me that support and protection
without whieli I could iiot long exist.
One man gased upon mc so constant-
ly and steadily, that his scrutiny an-
noyed me, and attracted niy particular
attention, lie appeared to be the

rcBcrvoil niul un|)ru|)08sc8sing in his as-
|H!ct, aiul stTinod to know me, but I
could not recollect of ever having seen
him before.

In the afternoon the rain ceased, and
the Indians began to prepare for tra-
velling. When they had accoutred
themselves, they all rose from the
ground witliout H^icaking a word, and
walketl away, one man taking the lead.
I pcrceivetl that they did not intend
tliat I should be of the party, but I
followed them immediately, and, ad-
dressing myself to the person who pre-
ceded the others, told him, that I must
accompany them, as I neither could
live in the woods alone, nor knew in
what part of the country I was. He
stopped and surveyed me fVom head
to foot, saying, " Where is your gun ?
Where is your knife .'' Wliere is your
tomahawk .''" I replied, that I had lost
them among the ic2. " Jly friend,"
returned he, " don't make the Great
Spirit angry, by saying what is not.
That man knows who you are," point-
ing to the Indian who had observed
me so closely. " Wc all know who
you arc. You have come to trade
with us, and I suppose your compani-
ons have concealed themselves at a
distance, lest the appearance of a num-
ber of white men should intimidate
us. They arc right. Experience has
taught us to fear white men ; but their
iart, not their strength, makes us trem-
ble. Go away, we do not wish to have
any transactions with you. We are
not to be betrayed or overpowered by
liquid fire,* or any thing else you can
ofier us. None of us shall harm you.
I have spoken the truth, for I have
not two mouths."

When he had finished this oration,
he remained silent, and I felt at a loss
ivhat to reply. At last I rejieated my
ptory, and endeavoured to convince
him that I neither had any compa-
nionsj nor was at oil in a situation to
trade with his people, or do them the
elightest injury. He hstened calmly
to my arguments, and seemed to think
there was some weight in them ; and
the young man already mentioned
stepped forward, and said, " Let the
stranger go with us, — the bones of my
father cry out against our leaving him
behind. I am young, but I dare to

advise.— Listen for once to the coun<
Bels of Tlkikakawerente." The first
speaker then waved his hand, as a sig«
nal that I should follow them, and tlic
whole party proceeded in the same or»
der as before.

Our leader pushed forward, appa-
rently without the least hesitation,
though, accustomed ns I was to tho
woo<l«, I could not discover the slight-
est trace of n footpath. He sometimes
slackened his pace for a few moments,
and looked thoughtfully at the trees,
and then advanced as fast as before.
None of the party spoke a word ; and
the rustling of the dry leaves under
their feet was the only sound that dis-
turbed the silence of the forest.
Though freed from the fear of perish-
ing for want, I could not reflect upon
my situation without uneasiness and
alarm ; and my chance of being able
to return to the post seemed to dimi-
nish every step I took. I felt excess
sively fatigued, not having enjoyed
any natural or composed sleep the pre-
ceding night, and tne roughness ol the
ground over which wc passed, added
to my weariness in an intolerable de-
gree ; but I could not venture to rest
by the way, lest I should lose sight of
the Indians for ever.

Soon after sunset, wc stopped for
the night, and the men set about erect-
ing a wigwam, while the women kin-
dled a fire. One of our party had killed
a small deer, in the course of our jour-
ney, and he immediately proceeded to
skin the animal, that a portion of it
might be dressed for supper. When
tu" venison was ready, they all sat
down and partook of it, and a liberal
allowance was handed to me ; but the
same silence prevailed thathad hithertp
been observed among them, and the
comforts of a plentiful repast after a
long journey, did not apjiear in tlie
least degree to promote social commu-
nication. The meal being finished,
the men filled their pipes with odori-
ferous herbs, and began to smoke in
the most sedate manner, and the wo-
men prepared beds by spreading skins
upon the ground. The composed de-
meanour of thd party harmonized well
with the silence and gloominess of the
night; and it seemed that the awful
solitude of the forests in which they
lived, and the sublime and enduring

said, in a low voice, " Listen to me, my
friend. — I told you that you would
receive no harm from us; and shall I
belie my words ? Thakakawercnte,who
requested that you might be allowed
to follow our steps, says that his father
was murdered by a party of pcojiU;
under your command, about nnie
moons ago. This may be true, and
you at the same time may l)e guileless ;
for we cannot always controul those who
are placed under our authority. He
tells me that the spirit of the old man
has twice appeared to him in hisdreams
to-night, desiring him to put you to
death. He has gone to repose himself
again, and if his father visits him a
tliird time during sleep, he will cer-
taip'y kill you whenever be awakes.
You must, therefore, hasten away, if
you wish to live any longer." " What
can I do.?" cried I ; " death awaits me
whether I remain here, or fly from
Thakakawcrente. It is impossible for
me to reach home iilone." " IJe pa-
tient," returned Outalisso, " and I will
try to save you. Not far from hence,
the roots of a large oak, which lias been
blown down by the wind, stretch high
into the air, and may be seen iit a great
distance. You must go there, and
wait till I come to you. Keep the
mossy side of the trees on your left
hand, and you will find the place
without any difficulty."

Outalisso motioned me to bun'y
away, and I dej)arted with a palpita-
ting heart, and plunged into the re-
cesses of the forest, and regulated my

141

course in the manner lie directo<l. Thp
moon was rising, and I conld see to ,i
considerable distance around. The
rustling of the dry leaves among my
feet often made me think that some
one walked close behind me, and I
scarcely dared to look back, lest I
should see an uplifted tomahawk de-
scending upon my head. I sometimeii
fancied I observed Thakakawcrentd
lurking among the bnishwoo<l, and
stopped short till imagination conju-
re(l up his form in a different part of
the forest, and rendered me irresolute
which phantom I should endeavour tu
avoid.

I reached the tree sooner than I ex-
pected : It lay along the ground, and
Its immense roots projected from the
trunk, at right angles, to the height of
twelve or fourteen feet, their interstices
being so filled with earth, that it was
impossible to see through them.

I sat down, and found the agitation
of my spirits gradually subside, under
thetranquilli/.inginfluenccofthoscenc.
Not a breath of wind shook the trees,
the leafless and delicately-fibrcil boughs
of which, when viewed against the
tloudless sky, seemed like a sable net-
work spread overhead. The nestswhich
the birds had made the preceding sum-
mer, still remained among the branch-
es, silent, deserte<l, and unshcltere*!,
making the loneliness of the forest, as
it were, visible to the mind ; while a
wit'iered leaf sometimes dropped slow-
ly down— a sad memorial of the de-
parted glories of the vegetable world.
A small rivulet ran within a little dis-
tance of me, but its course was so con-
cealed by long grass, that I would have
been aware of its existence by the mur-
muring of its waters only, had it not
glittere<l dazzlingly in the moonshine
at one spot, while flowing over a large
smooth stone. When I looked into the
recesses of the forest, I saw the trees
ranged before each other like coloss;il
pillars, and gradually blending their
stems together, until they formed a
dark and undefined mass. In some
places, a scathed trunk, whitened with
the moss of successive centuries, stood
erect in sjiectral grandeur, like a being
whom immense age and associations,
rivctted to long-past times, bad isola-
ted from the sympathies of his fellow-
mortals. As the moon gradually rose
on the arch of heaven, lur light fell at
different angles, and tlie a§i)ect of the
woods was coutimially thauging. New

Aly mind, by di'|j;rccs, became so
calm, that I dropju'd into a half slum-
ber, (hiring which I had a distinct per-
ception where I was, but totally forgot
the circumstances connected with my
RituatioiK A slight noise at lengtli
startled me, and I awaked full of ter-
ror, butcould not conceive why I sihould
feel such alarm, until recollection made
the tbrm of Tliakakaweroite flash upon
my mind, I saw a numlxr of indis--
tinct forms moving backwards and for-
wards, a little way from me, and heard
something beating gently u]>on the
grouml. A sniall cloud floated before
the moon, and I waiied with breath-
less impatience till it passed away, and
allowed her full radiance to reacli the
earth. I then discovered that five deer
had come to drink at the rivulet, aivl
that the noise of them striking their
fore-feet against its banks had aroused
me. They stoml gazing at me with an
aspect so meek and beautiful, that they
almost seemed to incorporate with the
moonlight, but, after a little time,
started away, and disappeared among
the mazes ef the forest.

When I surveyed the lieavcns, I
perceived by the alteration winch liad
taken place in their appearance, that I
had slept a considerable time. The
moon had begun to descend towards
the horizon ; a new succession of stars
glitteiod upon the sky ; the respective
positions of tlie different constellations
were changed ; ond one of the planets
which had been conspicuous from its
dazzling lustre, a few hours before,
had set, and was no longer distinguish-
able. It was overpowering to think
that all these changes had been efiect-
ed without noise, tumult, orconfusion,
and that worlds performed their revo-
lutions, and travelled through the
boundlessness of space, with a silence
too profound to awaken an echo in the
noiselcBB depths of the forest, or dis-

Ailrenlura in the NnHh-lFfitl Tirrilori/, (^Sept-

I waited impiitiently for the apnear-
aiiee of Oiitalisso, who had not inlorm-
ed me at what hour I might ex|)iet lt>
see him. The hIuih now twinkled fee-
bly amidst the faint glow of dawn tliiit
began to light theeustern horizon, :nid
tlk" siettiih^ moon npneiired behind some
pine*, and threw a rich yellow ridiaiu'c
u])on tlu'ir dark-green bou);lis. (iiiitlf
rustlings among the trees, and low
chiq)in!;s, announced that the birds
began to feel the influence of up|iroach-
ing day ; and I sonu'limes observed a
solitary wolf stealing rnutiously along
in the distance. While eiigag.d in
contemplating the Kerne, I suihUnly
thought I saw an Indian a little way
ofi. I cotdd not ascertain whether or
not it was Oiitalisso, but fearinu; it
might be Thakakawerente, whom I
dreaded t leounter in my unarmed
state, I retired from the roots of the
tree, ami concealed niy.selfanKUig some
brushwood.

I remained therefor some time, Imt
did not jiereeive any one near me, and
thinking that I had been deceived by
fancy, 1 resolved to return to my for-
mer station, and accordingly set out
towards the great tree, but shortly be-
came alarmed at neither reaching it
nor seeing it so soon lus I expected. I
turned back iu much agitation, and
endeavoure<l to iitrace n»y steps to the
brushwood, Uut all in vain. I exa-
ntined the most remarkable trees a-
round me, without being able to re-
collect of having seen one of them be-
fore. I perceived that I had lost my-
self. The moment I became aware of
this, my faculties ami perceptions
seemed to desert me one after another,
and at last I was conscious of being iu
existence oidy by the feeling of cha-
otic and in.supportable hopelessiu'ss
which remained ; but aflter a little
time, all my intellectual powers re-
turned with increased vigour and a-
cuteness, and appeared to vie with each
other in giving me a vivid sense of the
horrors of my situation. My soul seem-
ed incapable of affording play to the
tumultuous crowd of feelings that
struggled to manifest themselves. I
hurried wildly from one place to an-
other, calling on Outalisso and Thaka-
kawerente by turns. The horrible si-
lence that prevailed was more distract-
ing than u thousand deafening noiscfi

eddying and impetuous motionsi.

I tried in vain for a long time to
coin)>ose myself, and to bring my feel-
ings under due subordination. Thf
renunibrance of the (last was obliter-
ated and reiiewi'd by Hts and starts ;
but at best, my recollection of any
thing that had occurred to me previous
to the breaking up of the ice upon the
Like, was shadowy, dim, and unsatis-
factory, and I felt us if the former ]iart
of my life had l)eeii spent in another
world. I lay down among the wither-
ed leaves, and co.vmI my face with
my hands, that I might avoid the men-
tal distrii ''HI occasioned by the sight
of external objects. I began to rellect
tliat I could not i>o.ssibly have as yet
wandered far from the great tree, and

Ailoenlure iiithe Nitilh'Wiit IWritortft 1^3

confuHiiiii still more ili-itracting. I
stood still ill one spot, liHikiiig fearfully
from side to side, in the prospect of
being crunhed to death by some iiii-
iiiense mass of falling timber, for the
trees around me, when viewed througli
the distorting medium of the fog,
often ap])eared to liave lost their per-
pendicularity, and U) be bending to-
wartis the earth, although they only
waved ill the wind. At last I crept
under the trunk of an oak tliat lay
along the ground, resolving to remain
there until the tempest should aliate.

A short time before sunset the wind
liiid ceased, the iiiisls were dissipated,
and a portion of the blue sky appeared
directly above me. Encouraged liy
these tiivourable ap])earances, I yen',
tured from my place of refuge, and
began to think of making anoi ijr
attempt to regain the great tree, >vhen
I heard the report of a rifle. 1 -.as so
netrified with joy and surprise that I
liad no power to call out till the firing;
was repeated. 1 then shouted " f^ut-
alisso" several times, and soon saw
him advancing towards inc.

" Why are you not at the place I
apiioiiited," cried he; " I feared you

that if I called u|i(>ii Outidis^io at in- had lost yourself, and discharged my

tervals. he might perhajis hear me and
come to my relief. Consoled by the
idcii, I gradually became quiet and
resigned.

1 soon lH.'gaii to make the woods re-
sound with the name of Outalisso ;
but, in the course of the day, a tempest
of wind arose, ami raged with so much
noise that I could hardly hear my own
voice. A dense mist filleil the air, and
involved every thing in such obscurity
that the sphere of my vision did not
extend beyond five or six yards. 'Jliu
fog was in continual agitation, rolling
iJong in volumes, ascending and de-
scending, bursting ojkmi and closing
again, and us^uming strange and trail-
sitory forms. Every time the blast
received an accession of force, I heard
a confused roaring and crashing at a
distfince, which gradually increased in
strength and distinctness, till it reach-
e<l that part of the forest that stretched
around me. Then the trees began to
creak and groan incessantly, their
boughs were shattered against lacli
other, fibres of wood whirled through
the air in every direction, and showers
of withered leaves caught up, and
swept along by the wind, met and
mingled with tlicni, and rendered the

gun as a signal, — but all danger
past— Thakakawerente is dead, I kill-
ed him." There was some blood on
Outiilisso's dress, but he looked so
calm and careless that I liesitated to
believe what he told me.

" I do not deceive you," said lie,
" and I will tell you how Thakaka-
werente came by his death. lie
a.<aked soon after midnight, and not
finding you in the camp, suspecteil
that I had told you that he inteiideil
to kill you. lie taxed me with ha-
ving done so, and I scorne<l to deny it.
His anger made him forget tlie truth,
and he said I had betrayed my trust,
and at the same time struck me on
the face. Now you know an Indian
never forgives a blow, or an accusation
such as he uttered. I buried my
tomahawk in his head. His friends
lay asuep in the wigwam, mid I drag-
ged away his body to some distance,
and covered it with leaves, and then
concealed myself till I saw them set
out on their journey, which they
soon did, doubtless supposing that
Thakakawerente and I had gone on
before. I have been at the great tree
since morning, but the mist and the
tempest preyeiitcd inc from seeking

yon till now. Do Batisficd, you shall
sec the corpse of Thakakawcrcnto.—
Follow meV'

Outalisso now bep;an to proceed ra-
pidly though the forest, and I walked
behind him without uttering a word.
We soon reached the spot where the
Indians had slept the preceding night,
and found the wigwam remaining, and
likewise several embers of fire. My
companion immediately fanned them
into a state of brightness, and then
collected some nieces of dry wood that
lay around, and jiiled them upon tlic
charcoal. The whole soon burst into
a blaze, and we both sat down within
its influence, Outalisso at the same
time presenting mc with a quantity of
pemican, which proved very acceptable,
as I had cat nothing for more than
twenty hours.

After we had reposed ourselves a
little, Outalisso rose up, and motioncil
that I should accompany him. He
conducted me to a small pile of brush-
wootl and dry leaves, part of which he
immediately removed, and I saw the
corpse of Thakakawcrente stretched
beneath. I shnmk back, shuddering
with horror, but hepuUed meforwards,
and said, I must assist him in convey-
ing the body to the fire. Seeing me
still unwilling, he took it up in his
arms, and hurrying away, deposited
it in the wigwam. I followed him ;
and asked what he meant by doing so.
" Arc you ignorant of our customs ?"
said he : " When an Indian dies, all
his property must be buried with him.
He who takes any thing that bclong-
al to a dead jierson, will receive a
curse from the Great Spirit in addi-
tion. After I had killed Thakakawc-
rente', I took up his tomahawk by
mistake, and carried it away with me.
I must now restore it, and also cover
hiiri with earth lest his bones should
whiten in the sun."

Outalisso now proceeded to arrange
the dress of the dead man, and likewise
stuck the tomahawk in his girdle. lie
next went a little way into the forest

CSept.

for the puriwsc of collecting some bark
to put in the bottom of the grave, and
I was left alone.

The night was dark, dim, and
dreary, and the fire blazed feebly and
irregularly. A superstitious awe stole
over mc, and I dared hardly look
around, though I sometimes cast an al-
most involuntary glance at tlic corpse,
which had a wild and fearful appear-
ance. Thakakawerente lay upon his
back, and his long, lank, black hair
was spread confusedly upon his breast
and neck. His half-open eyes still re-
tained a glassy lustre, and his teeth
were firmly set against each other.
Large dashes of blood stained his vest,
and his elenclied hands, and contract-
ed limbs, shewed what struggles had
preceded death. When the flickering
light of the fire hapjiened to fall upon
him, I almost fancied that he began to
move, and would have started away,
had not a depressing dread chained me
to the spot ; but the sound of Outa-
lisso's axe, in some degree, dissipated
the fears that chilled my heart, and I
spent the time in listening to the re-
gidar recurrence of its strokes, until
he came back with an armful of bark.

I assisted him in burying Thakaka-
werente under the shade oi" a tall wal-
nut tree ; and when we had accom-
plished this, we returned to the fire,
and waited till moonlight would enable
us to p\irsuc our journey. Outalisso
had willingly agreed to conduct me
homo, for he wished to change his
abode for a season, lest Tliiik.ikaworen-
te's relations should di'-'/cerhis guilt,
and execute vengeance upon him.

We set out about an hour after
midnight, and travelled through tlu-
woods till dawn, when we came in
sight of the river, on the banks of
which I had first fallen in with the
Indians. In the course of the d.iy,
Outalisso procurinl a canoe, and we
paddled up the stream, and next morn-
ing reached the trading post on tlu-
side of the lake.
