Though at thistime starving, I did not attempt to eat one, lest I should lose a moment ingathering them, not knowing how soon the Indians might be going again. Ihad almost filled my hat when I saw them returning to the canoe. I madewhat haste I could to her, for I believe they would have made no conscienceof leaving me behind. I sat down to my oar again, placing my hat close tome, every now and then eating a limpet. The Indians were employed the sameway, when one of them seeing me throw the she...lls overboard, spoke to therest in a violent passion, and getting up, fell upon me, and seizing me byan old ragged handkerchief I had about my neck, almost throttled me; whilstanother took me by the legs, and was going to throw me overboard if the oldwoman had not prevented, them. I was all this time entirely ignorant by what means I had given offence, till I observed that the Indians, after eating the limpets, carefully putthe shells in a heap at the bottom, of the canoe. I then concluded therewas some superstition about throwing these shells into the sea, myignorance of which had very nearly cost me my life.
