Obs. <75> <Of T{ravell}.> {Obs.} Sometimes a man shall meet a lame man or an old man with a Staffe: but generally a Staffe is a rare sight in the hand of the eldest, their Constitution is so strong. I have upon occasion travelled many a score, yea many a hundreth mile amongst them, without need of stick or staffe, for any appearance of danger amongst them: yet it is a rule amongst them, that it is not g od for a man to travell without a Weapon nor alone. |Taquáttin| `Frost.' |Auke taquátsha| `The ground is frozen.' |Séip taquáttin.| `The River is frozen.' |Nowánnesin| `I have forgotten.' |nippitt akúnnamun.|- `I must goe back.' {Obs.} I once travalled with neere 200 who had word of neere 700.
