What they most admired and wondered at was that they found an iron pan in one of the houses; though I am disposed to believe that the rocks and fire-stones of the country being of the colour of bright iron, a person of indifferent judgment may have taken it for iron without sufficient examination; for there never was any iron found afterwards among these people, and I find no authority from the admiral for this incident on his own knowledge, and as he used to write down daily whatever happened and was reported to him, he may have set down this among other particulars related by those who had been on shore.
Mademoiselle had been ordered never to let the child "spread her hand by opening door knobs or touching the fire-stones or er any clumsy thing " and it was droll to see the little girl, digging in her bit of garden with those lovely hands incased in long flopping cotton gloves not to forget the broad sunbonnet that shaded her earnest little face.
