Camping oiit nights was a novel thing to us, and an Indian we had never seen before ; and they were rather frolicsome, though we gave them ho stimulant to excite them. They were joking and singing with the playfulness and innocence of children. 20 HISTORY OF HOULTON. Young Peeopold, of aliout 18 3^ears, gave a specimen of the Indian dance, shaking his shot-horn and singing in a varied, gutteral tone, el-ba-took, took-take-take-raoha, repeating their (to us unmeaning) monosyllables, hopping up a...nd down, alternating on each foot, his body inclining forward, with projecting elbows, which gave him a most ludicrous appearance, until from this monotonous gam" holing, he became exhausted, then he would close his fandango with hue-cha ! on a high key-note. Old Mattannis was a braWny, clear-blooded Aboriginal who, though not so much of a comedian, yet sustained his part to admiration, while the other Indians appeared equally to enjoy the comic repast* Peeopold was distin- guished for vivacity, intrepidity, symmetry of form and manly beauty.
