He therefore caus’d a Fire to be made, gave him to Eat and Smoke, and afterwards a Bit of Roll-Tabacco, and some other Trifles. Monsieur _de la Sale_ gave him to understand, that he came not to hurt any Man, but to settle Peace in all Places, and so dismissed him. The _Indian_ recover’d himself a little of his Fright; but being still dubious, what his Fate might be, he at first walk’d away gently, still looking about him, and when at a good Distance, made off as fast as he could. We held on our Way, and soon after saw another _Indian_ running after the Bullocks. Monsieur _de la Sale_ caus’d him to be taken, brought to us, and treated as the first had been. We had not gone far before we spy’d a Company of Natives coming towards us, on our left, but we held on our Way, till they were over against us, when Monsieur _de la Sale_ caus’d us to halt. The Savages seeing us halt, stood still also, which Monsieur _de la Sale_ perceiving, he laid his Firelock on the Ground, and advanc’d towards them, making signs to him that Commanded them, who was a handsome Man, to draw near. That _Indian_ came forward, and was follow’d by the rest, all of them Caressing us after their Manner, which we return’d the best we were able, and then made them Smoak. [Sidenote: _Natives entertain’d._] Next Monsieur _de la Sale_ gave them to understand, that we were going towards the _Cenis_, that we desir’d to be at Peace with them all, and that we would return to our own Country, whence we would bring them all they had Occasion for. Then we distributed among them some Bits of Roll-Tabacco, some Strings of Beads and Knives, which they seem’d to be pleas’d with, and all this was done by Signs. Then every Man went his own Way: We advanc’d half a League farther, to get into a Wood, where Monsieur _de la Sale_ had encamp’d when he went that Way before; we cut down Trees to secure our Post, and lay there that Night. Before our Intrenchment was finish’d, we discover’d, first one _Indian_, then two, and afterwards three, coming one after another; which giving Monsieur _de la Sale_ some Jealousy, he caus’d us to handle our Arms, with Orders to stand upon our Guard, for fear of being surpriz’d, and went towards them. They signify’d to him, that their People had told them, we did not hurt any Body, which was very well, and that they were come to see us. They were entertain’d as the others had been, and then Signs were made them to withdraw, because Night drew on, and having observ’d, that they took Notice of our fortifying our selves, we kept a good Guard all the Night, without any Disturbance.
