nd friend, General Brock, his aide-de-camp, Colonel M'Donell,
and several warriors, have fallen.

"_Brothers_,--We therefore now, seeing you darkened with
grief, your eyes dim with tears, and your throats stopped with
the force of your affliction, with these strings of wampum we
wipe away your tears, that you may view clearly the
surrounding objects. We clear the passage in your throats that
you may have free utterance for your thoughts, and we wipe
clean from blood the place of your abode, that you may sit
there in comfort, without having renewed the remembrance of
your loss by the remaining stains of blood.

Delivered eight strings of white wampum.[157]

"_Brothers_,--That the remains of our late beloved friend and
commander, General Brock, shall receive no injury, we cover it
with this belt of wampum, which we do from the grateful
sensations which his kindness towards us continually inspired,
as also in conformity with the customs of our ancestors; and
we now express, with the unanimous voice of the chiefs and
warriors of our respective bands, the great respect in which
we hold his memory, and the sorrow and deep regret with which
his loss has filled our breasts, although he has taken his
departure for a better abode, where his many virtues will be
rewarded by the great Dispenser of good, who has led us on the
road to victory.

A large white belt.

"_Brothers_,--We now address the successor of our departed
friend, to express the confidence we feel that his heart is
warmed with similar sentiments of affection and regard towards
us. We also assure him of our readiness to support him to the
last, and therefore take the liberty to speak strong to all
his people to co-operate with vigour, and, trusting in the
powerful arm of God, not to doubt of victory.

"Although our numbers are small, yet, counting Him on our
side, who ever decides on the day of battle, we look for
victory whenever we shall come in contact with our enemy.

Five strings of white wampum.
