All this was very disagreeable to the red men, who had never shown any disposition to open up their country to foreign immigration. When De Vries anchored, he was very well received; and about forty Indians came on board his yacht, and made a call upon him.
It was after a visit of the Indians to the vessel of De Vries, that the peacemaking instinct took possession of the wife of one of the Indian chiefs; and quietly and stealthily, unperceived by her people, she managed to get on board the "Squirrel," when she informed the commander of the real object of his visitors, who had invited him to sail up Timber Creek.
They always maintained that the Dutch had abandoned the river, and that it was therefore open to the Swedes for occupation, especially after they had purchased the Indian title. It was certainly true that the Dutch efforts to plant colonies in that region had failed; and since the last attempt by De Vries, six years had elapsed.
Marie nodded his head with great emphasis. "Ah," he cried, "that's just what I have felt, you know, all along! And it's what Hartley felt, too, I'm sure. No, Stewart is not the sort for a detective.

I was in the midst of a highly colored speech during which I must confess de Vries had eyed me in a somewhat saturnine manner when the proprietor tapped me on the shoulder and said that I was wanted outside.
The explanation of natural evolution given by Darwinism and the principles of Weismann, Mendel, and De Vries, still fails to solve the mystery completely, and appeal has been made to other agencies, even to teleology and to "unknown" and "unknowable" causes as well as to circumstantial factors.
The cultures of De Vries are descended from these commercial seeds, but the Swedish race of Lamarckiana, as well as those of English gardens, differ in several features and must have come from another source or been modified by crossing with grandiflora.
