iron tie Kentucky Palladium,
(Concluded,) .
After palling the mountains they entered
a fine, fertile craft of land, which having
travelled through for fevcral days, they
accidentally met with three white men in
the Indian dress. Griffith immediately un
derlloixi their language, as it was pure
Welch, though they occafipnally made use
of a few words with which he was not ac
quainted. However, as it happened to be
the turn of one of his Shawhefe companions
to aft as spokesman, or interpreter, he pre
served a profound ftlencc and never gave
them any intimation that he understood the
language of their new companiorts. After
proceeding with them four or fax days
journev, thr.p m »1» -ill tjioß *-*
white men, where they found that the
whol* were of the fame colour,
having all the European complexion. The
three men took them through their village
for about the space of fifteen miles, when
they came to the council houfc, at which
an assembly of the king and chief men of
the nation was immediately held.. The
council lasted three days as the llrangcrs
were not supposed to be acquainted with
their language, they were fuffered to be
present at their deliberations. The great
question before' the council was, what con
duft Ihonld be observed towards the (hangers.
From their fire artnes, their knives and
their tomahawks, it was concluded they
were a warlike people—it was conceived
that they were sent to look out Tor a coun
try for their nation, that if they were fuf
i'ered to return they might expect a body
of powerful invaders, but that if these fix
men were put to death, nothing would be
known of their country, and they would
dill enjoy their polTcffions in (ceurity, It
was nuiiv ucicinrfriea ttraT they firouia o*
put to death. Griffith then thought that
it was time fur him tofpeak. He addrefled
the council in the Welch language. He
informed them that they had not been sent
by any nation ; that as they were aftuated
merely by private curiosity, they had no
hostile intentions : that it was their wi(H
to trace the Missouri to jts source, and that
they (hould return to their country fatisfied
with the difeoveries they bad made, without
any wifli to disturb the repose of their new
acquaintances. An inllant aftonilhment
glowed in the countenances not only of the
council but of his Shawncfe companions,
who clearly saw that he was underflood by
the people of the country. Full confidence
was at once given to his declarations j the
king advanced, and gave him his hand.
They abandoned the design of putting him
and his companions to death, and from that
moment treated them with tbeutmoft friend
(hip. Griffith and the Shawncfe continued
. eight months in the nation j but were
deterred from prosecuting their refcarchea up
the Missouri by the advice of the pcopld of
the country, who informed them that they
had gone a twelve months journey up the
river but found it as large there as it was in
their own country. As to the hiftory ot
this people, he could learn nothing latif
faftorv. The only account they could give
was, that their fore fathers had come up the
river from a very distant country.
They had no books, no records, no wri
tings. They intermixed with no other peo
ple, by marriage ; there was not a dark skin
ned man in the nation. Their numbers
were very considerable. There was a con
tinued range of fettkments on the river for
fifty miles, and there were, within this space
three large water coorfes which fell into
the Missouri, on the banks of each of which,
likewise, they were fettled. He supposed
that there must be 50,000 men in the na
tion, capable ot bearing arms. Their cloa
thing was skins well dressed. Their houtes
were made of upright polls and the bark of
trees. The only implements th«;jr had to
cut them with were, Hone toidaliaw’ks.
They had no iron, their arms were bows
and arrows. They had fom| filyer, which
had been hammered with Hones' into cuarfe
ornaments, but it did not appear to be pure.
They had neither horses, cattle, ffieep, hogs,
nor anv domcflic or tame animals. They
lived by hunting. He said nothing about
their religion.
Griffith and his companions hadfomc large
iron tomahawks with them. With the/e
they cut down a tree and prepared a canoe
to return home in .--hut their tomahawks
were so great a coriofit)’* and the people of
