135 nough himself dwelt. Here they went through a singular ceremony which was called an incanta- tion ; a performance by means of which they could conjure up secret spirits within him, and thus find out what his real intentions toward them were. They bedaubed themselves with jjaint, attired themselves in the hideous skins of wild beasts, and, to the noise of rattling gourds, and yells and whoops, danced and capered about him all day long. This scene was continued for three days. Afterwards, the...y gave him food to eat in abundance, though carefully abstaining from eating with him themselves. And pretty soon he was taken to the lodge of a brother of Powhatan, who bore the not very pleasant name of Opitchapam. There they continued to stuff him with all the food he could be made to swal- low, while his own fears of being eaten himself in turn returned with increasing force and perplexity. During this time they tried their utmost to bribe him to betray his companions at James- town. They offered him the richest gifts, if he would only tell them how they could get into the fort without hurt from the guns.
