In the evening, after another supper in the council house, the more social dances the troting, the fish, and one in which the women alone participated were resumed. The fish dance seemed to be the favorite, and being invited to join in by one of the chiefs, we at once accepted the invitation, and followed in mirthful chase of pleasure with a hundred forest children.
