MACOMO, THE OAIKA CHIEF. 169 about the mouth and chin. This was Macomo, tlic great warrior of all the Kallir chiefs — the most active and darinjx in the field, and cunninfj in counciL" Divested — whilst surrounded by liis amiable family, and in domestic retirement at Block Drift — of the usual attributes of his rank ; he no longer sported either the leopard-skin kaross, ' or my Lord Glenelg's munificent gift : the gold-laecd diplomatic suit of clothing ; but now comfortably smoked a pipe and en...joyed his bottle, in the easiest undress furnished by Nature ; or, at least, with no other garment save the " noutchee. " Thus, during the wet weather wliich had lately set in, he usually passed his time in a dolce far niente state, by the side of a fire lit in the middle of the apartment ; his English visitors being thereby always blinded with smoke, which appeared however to have no effect on Macomo\s visual organs, or those of his sultanas and numerous offspring. The latter crawled about in all directions over the mud floor — like so many huge, dark-coloured toads — perfectly naked^ and with distended abdomens, nearly bursting from exces- sive repletion.
