Logan's wife, who is a Mohican and a relative of Abraham's,.. While away on the annual hunt last November, her little daughter died, being as she in- formed us, bewitched by a Delaware sorcerer. She immedi- ately returned home with the body, and asked for nails and wood to make a coffin, which we gave her... Our brethren attended the funeral. The mother showed them the corpse in the coffin with its presents, viz. : a blanket, several pairs of moccassins, buckskin for new ones, needle and thread, a kettle, two hatchets, and flint, steel and tinder ; so that on its arrival in the new country, it could go at once to housekeeping. Be- sides, it was beautifully painted, and had a supply of bear's meat, Indian corn and a calabash.

Journal Of Diron D'Artaguiette: "We then continued our journey and arrived about 10 o'clock in the morning at the post where Sr. de St. Ange is in command, with six soldiers. This is a wretched fort of piles where Sr. Mercier, priest of the Foreign Missions has a house and a church. An eighth of a league higher up is the village of the Cahokias."
