Though disagreeable, it had the effect of driving away mosquitoes and other flying things. I had not expected to be so well treated; still, I could not tell how long the chief might remain in his present good-humour. The chief's name was, I found, Aguskogaut. The tribe into whose hands I had fallen were Sioux, who live entirely on the prairies, and subsist by hunting the buffalo.
On this Aguskogaut who was, happily, our friend made another speech; and lifting up his hand to heaven, appeared to be invoking the Great Spirit, and letting his countrymen understand that we were under his protection, and that no harm must happen to us. So successful was his eloquence, that the warriors appeared to be satisfied.
Our chief, Aguskogaut, who had put on his finest robes, advanced to meet them while they stepped forward; and their leader began a long harangue, which sounded very fine, although I could not make out what it was all about. Mike and I stood on one side, thinking it as well to keep out of the way.
