Besides the skins in their native shape, they also brought garments made of the bark of a tree, or some plant like hemp ; weapons, such as bows and arrows, and spears ; fish-hooks, and instruments of various kinds ; wooden visors of many monstrous figures ; a sort of woollen stuti" or blan- keting ; bags filled with red ochre ; pieces of carved work, beads, and several other little ornaments of thin brass and iron, shaped Uke a horse-shoe, which they hang at their noses, and several chisels, or... pieces of iron fixed to handles. " " In trafficking with us, " continues the navigator, " some of them would betray a knavish disposition, and carry off" our goods with- out making any return ; but, in general, it was otherwise, and we had abundant reason to commend the fairness of their conduct. However, their eagerness to possess iron and brass, and, indeed, any kind of metal, was so great, that few of them could resist the temptation to steal it, whenever an opportunity otTered. They were thieves in the strictest sense of the word ; for they pilfered nothing from us but what they knew could be converted to the purposes of private utility, and had a real value, according to their estimation of things.
