One of these, a young woman, was very talkative andremarkably cheerful. This was a singular instance, for in general theyare observed on this coast to be much less cheerful than the men, andapparently under great awe and subjection. They certainly are not treatedwith much tenderness, and it is thought that they are employed chiefly inthe canoes, in which women have frequently been seen with very youngchildren at the breast. The lively young lady, when she joined the partythe second day in her c...anoe, stood up and gave a song which was far fromunpleasing. The men very readily gave their assistance to the English inmaking a fire, and behaved in the most friendly manner. In a bay whereGovernor Phillip and his company landed to draw the seine, a number ofthe natives again came to them. It was now first observed by the Governorthat the women in general had lost two joints from the little finger ofthe left hand. As these appeared to be all married women, he at firstconjectured this privation to be a part of the marriage ceremony; butgoing afterwards into a hut where were several women and children, he sawa girl of five or six years of age whose left hand was thus mutilated;and at the same time an old woman, and another who appeared to have hadchildren, on both of whom all the fingers were perfect.
