His full, resolute face was destitute of whiskers, except a clump of sandy hair on his chin.
With a magnificent crown of feathers on his head, a jacket of rich fur handsomely trimmed, glittering bracelets and earrings, a spear in his hand and a shield at his back, as he firmly sat his strongly-built mustang, he looked every inch a warrior chief. "I did not know you at first, but I do now," he said, smiling; "and the White Lily is truly welcome to my tents."
We then proceeded at a somewhat slower pace than before, the bearers finding a great difference between my strongly-built cousin and poor young Natty. As may be supposed, we kept a very strict watch at night, lest we might be visited by another lion.
