< ral warriors had just come in, whom I
3 id not seen before; free discussions ap-
1 . irs to be in order, the old warriors shook
their heads significantly, and looked
i eeedingly wise. I could not learn the
( use of all this commotion until about
midnight, when I was arroused from
I; l>eaceful slumber by young Tiger
t 1. a sub-chief, accompaniedjty a'party
<T warriors. After asking me quite a
! ii tuber of questions, he stated
t t the big chief at Washington,
(i. . jailing the President,) had sent little
e ief to Fort Myers to see the Indians,
: :t little chief had sent another white
man to tell all the Indians to meet him
a Fort Myers “to talkee, muchee, all
? tee big council.” He and his warri
or~ had come to consult with Tuskee
i;,;ggee, (who is now absent about
l. ies distant). He inquired very parlic
i rly if ‘I was a government agent, or
come to tell them about God. It seems
t •. c old Chipco had got this same idea
ii ) bis head. He asked me several
times before he left if I was an agent.
I ssun d them that I was neither an
S' .'nt nor a minister, but that my mis
su' ■ was strictly of a private nature,
and to lull their suspicion, I set to work
I a " basing such things as they offered
lor sale, frequently paying more than its
a due. Tigertail appeared to think that
i vas toe aim of the government to
to have the Indians removed, and asked
lor my opinion. I stated that I knew
’ "thing of “Uncle Sam’s’’ intentions
and advised lnm and his people to go
mul see what the agent wanted to say to
t them, s ating that I would be glad to
t 1 ave him accompany me back to Fort
Myers to-morrow. He said he would go
and see the big chief about it. and struck
c in the darkness across the prairie,
fohowed by his warriors, many of them
] ectly barelegged. He returned be-
1 • day and stated that Tustenuggee
vs s sick and could not go, but if I
v ild wait “two sun's” (two days.) he
ai 1 all the warriors would accompany
i But I begged to he excused for two
i : sons, first’ I didn’t fancy the idea of
gulling u,> and splashing through the
s amps t that hour of night, and, sec
«!'d my “grub” supplies are exhausted
a it requires a stronger stomach than
I o s -ss l take Indian food, Sol will
1 e to morrow for the white settle
