In the course of the evening I crossed the road, and striking into a path through the woods, soon came to a number of Indian cabins.

I went into one of them and begged for some food.

The Indian women received me with a great deal of kindness, and gave me a good supper of venison, corn bread, and stewed pumpkin.

I remained with them till the evening of the next day, when I started afresh on my journey.

I kept on the road leading to Georgia.
