ABSTRACT
The friendship of Awattahowee continued unalterably faithful to Edward; and he, with the assistance of Quanshebo’s interpretation, began not only to comprehend a great part of what was said to him in the Agiguan language, but also to express himself so as to be tolerably well understood. His knowledge of civilized life enabled him to add many comforts to Weenacoba’s wigwawm with which she had not before been acquainted, among which a sort of candles that he invented was not the least; and as he had been remarkably successful in his hunting, there was no dwelling in the tribe so well prepared against the winter, which was now set in.
