and
in that far-away country beyond the western sea where lived the
Alachuas. At such times he would close his eyes and fancy that he
could again hear their musical voices calling him "Ta-lah-lo-ko," their
white chief.
That he did revisit them, at least once before he died, is proved by
existing manuscript; but he is not supposed ever to have resumed his
position as their chief.
For many generations his descendants preserved among their most valued
treasures, and may possibly retain even to this day, the exquisitely
embroidered costume of an Indian chieftain. To it was attached, by a
golden chain and pin, a curious scarlet feather, which was supposed to
be that of a flamingo.
