"Father, we are glad to see you and to take your hand; we know that you are uncle to our _great mother_ the Queen, and we are happy to see you. ('_How, how, how!_') We thank the Great Spirit for this; he has kept us in good health and safe over the great salt lake, and His eye is on us now, we know, or we should not see our great father this day. We are poor, ignorant children, and yet we hope the Queen, your niece, will be willing to see us, when our hearts will be happy. ('_How, how, how!_') "Father, my years, you see, are nearly spent. I have carried my weapons and hunted for your enemies many years, and my warriors here have many wounds they received in fighting for the Sag-a-noshes. ('_How, how, how!_') "I have no more words to say at present. ('_How, how, how!_')" His Royal Highness graciously received the old Chief's speech, and then examined the wounds pointed out on the body of the War Chief; after which he replied to the old man-- "My friends, I meet you here to-day with great pleasure, and I thank the Great Spirit also, that He has guarded you and kept you safe over the ocean. I hope your visit to England may be pleasant and profitable to you, and that you may all get back safe to your children. ('_How, how, how!_') "My friends, I will make known your wishes to the Queen, and I think you will see her. ('_How, how, how!_')" The Duke most kindly took leave of them, presenting to the old chief ten sovereigns, which he divided equally among the number, and sent them on the following day ten pounds of the choicest smoking tobacco. On leaving the Rooms he also thanked me for the treat I had afforded him, and said, "Oh, the good fellows! yes, the Queen will see them."
