It could not be expected that they should differ materially fromthe tribes with whom we were acquainted. The same manners and pursuits, thesame amusements, the same levity and fickleness, undoubtedly characterisedthem. What we were able to learn from them was that they depend but littleon fish, as the river yields only mullets, and that their principal supportis derived from small animals which they kill, and some roots (a species ofwild yam chiefly) which they dig out of the earth. If we right...ly understoodthem, each man possesses two wives. Whence can arise this superabundance offemales? Neither of the men had suffered the extraction of a front tooth. We were eager to know whether or not this custom obtained among them. Butneither Colbee nor Boladeree would put the question for us; and on thecontrary, showed every desire to wave the subject. The uneasiness whichthey testified, whenever we renewed it, rather served to confirm asuspicion which we had long entertained, that this is a mark of subjectionimposed by the tribe of Cameragal, (who are certainly the most powerfulcommunity in the country) on the weaker tribes around them.
