HENCE they visited a tribe near a place, called Medskar. She was here so indispos|ed, she could not proceed on the journey. Her illness proved a relapse of her seven. The pilot interceded with the King for her to tarry with them till the return of her company; which, he said, would be at the close of one moon. Being convinced they were no spies, nor invaders, he consented. He then ordered an Indian and his squaw to doctor her; telling them, the boy would, eat good, when fattened.—She remarks, that their medicine always had a more sen|sible effect, than those of common physi|cians. Thus, in a short time, she recovered. But I shall not attempt to recount all her sufferings, especially by hunger, but a more intense torture of mind, during this barba|rous servitude.HER aim was, never to discover the least cowardice, but always, to laugh at their threats. A striking instance of this she exemplifi|ed at their coronation of a new King. Hr 0
