[Sidenote: _Names of Nations or Tribes._] The _Spicheats_, _Kabayes_, _Thecamons_, _Theauremets_, _Kiahoba_, _Choumenes_, _Kouans_, _Arhan_, _Enepiahe_, _Ahonerhopiheim_, _Korenkake_, _Korkone_, _Omcaosse_, _Keremen_, _Ahehoen_, _Maghai_, _Thecamenes_, _Otenmarhem_, _Kavagan_ and _Meracouman_. These are the Nations that lay on our Road; those on the West and North West of the said River were the _Kannehonan_, _Tohaka_, _Pehir_, _Coyabegux_, _Onapien_, _Pichar_, _Tohan_, _Kiasses_, _Chanzes_, _Tsera_, _Bocrettes_, _Tsepehoen_, _Fercouteha_, _Panego_, _Petao_, _Petzares_, _Peisacho_, _Peihoum_ and _Orcampion_.[89] Those we were with then, were call’d _Teao_, whom we had not before hear’d nam’d. They talk’d of a great Nation call’d _Ayona_ and _Canohatino_, who were at War with the _Spaniards_, from whom they stole Horses, and told us, that one hundred _Spaniards_ were to have come to join the _Cenis_, to carry on that War, but that having heard of our March, they went back. Monsieur _de la Sale_ gave them to understand, that we were at War with the _Spaniards_, and that we fear’d them not; and that he was sent on their Account by the great captain of the World, who had charg’d him to do them all Good, and to assist them in their Wars against such Nations as were their Enemies. Those Savages gave Monsieur _de la Sale_ Notice, that he would find three of our Men among the _Cenis_, which put him in Hopes they were those he had given Leave to depart at his former Journey, and of whom he had never since heard. He propos’d to them to barter for Horses; but they had caus’d them to be convey’d out of the Way, for Fear we should take them away, excepting only one Bay, which Monsieur _de la Sale_ agreed for and return’d to us. The 17th, we pass’d a small River, with some Difficulty, and incamp’d beyond it. The 18th, one of our Horses going along the Edge of an upright Bank, fell into the Water, and came off with only a Hurt on the Shoulder; but we were fain to unload him, and distribute his Burden among us, every one making a Pack; and thus we cross’d a curious Plain,[90] diversify’d with Woods, Hills, Rivulets, and delightful Meadows. The 19th, we travell’d along the Tops of those Hills, to avoid the Bottoms, and found a Difficulty to get down, by reason of the Rocks we met with at the End of them, and a River we were to cross. Whilst we were passing that River, we heard Dogs hunting the Bullocks, two of which coming near us, one of them was shot dead. The Natives who were hunting spying us, sent out two of their Number, who creeping from Tree to Tree, drew near, and then stood still, without daring to proceed any farther. We made Signs to them to come, which they did, and we made them smoke, till Monsieur _de la Sale_ return’d, being gone a little Way to observe the Body of those People.
