We carry’d him to the Cottage, shedding many Tears, the _Indians_ bore Part in our Sorrow, and we paid him the last Duties, offering up the usual Prayers; after which he was buryed in a small Field, behind the Cottage; and whereas, during that doleful Ceremony, we pray’d, reading in our Books, particularly Monsieur _Cavelier_, the Priest and Father _Anastasius_, the _Indians_ gaz’d on us with Amazement, because we talk’d, looking upon the Leaves, and we endeavour’d to give them to understand, that we pray’d to God for the dead Man, pointing up to Heaven. [Sidenote: _Humanity of the Indians._] We must do this Right to those good People, as to declare, that they express’d singular Humanity upon that doleful Accident, as appear’d by the sensible Testimony of their Actions, and all the Methods they us’d to let us understand how great a Share they bore in our Sorrow; which we should not have found in several Parts of _Europe_. [Sidenote: _Indian Ceremony to the Dead._] [Sidenote: _Indian Nations._] During our short Stay in that Place, we observ’d a Ceremony that was perform’d by the Chief’s Wife, _viz._ that every Morning she went to Monsieur _de Marle’s_ Grave, and carry’d a little Basket of parch’d Ears of Corn to lay on it, the meaning whereof we could not understand. Before our Departure, we were inform’d, that the Villages belonging to our Hosts, being four in Number, all ally’d together were call’d, _Assony_, _Natsohsos_, _Nachitos_ and _Cadodaquio_. On the 27th, having been inform’d by the Natives, that we should find Canoes, to pass a River that was on our Way, Father _Anastasius_ and I went to see whether, what they told us was true. We found that River was a Branch of the same we had already pass’d, the Channel of it being pleasant and navigable, and saw some Canoes, in one of which the _Indians_ carry’d us over to the other Side, whether we went to see what convenient Place there was for our Horses to come ashore. We found a very proper Place, and returning, made our Report to Monsieur _Cavelier_, who being then much out of Order with Pains in his Feet, we were oblig’d to stay there, till the 30th.
