Bay-Cnpleasant Ways of Testing Cour-
asc-The Hnsl>ic Women-Facts Cleaned
from Lord Lonsdalc's Note Book.
The reporter took the note book and
CLEANED the following facts: ';On Aug. g"
writes Lord Lonsdale, 1--WE determined to
make trip to Liverpool bay. l persuaded
a Huslic to put OH civilized clothes and to
take out his 'taberettes,' with Il view of dis
Guising himself. l1he tahcrcttes are two
pieces cf serpentinc, shaped like buttons
one very large and one small. The larger
one is worn on the left of the under lip, close
up to the mouth, and the smaller one on tho
other side. The Indians prize them very
highly and value them ut $50 each) Tho
clothes he put on l had given him before
hand as payment for guiding us to the Huskio
settlement. AS we rounded tie point into
Liverpool bay l hoi>ted the Union Jack
and my white ensign, and my man hoistcd
the Hudson Bay companys flag. and thus be-
deckel we sailed around the point and into
full view of the wooden and canvas town of
the HuSkicwauX, distant about five miles.
A ROYAL WELCOME.
I'VE no sooner hove i'll sight than saw
with the glasses all the Huskies come flock
ing down TO the beach. Four men put out in
kiacks 20 meet us an advance guard.
Three of them were armed with bows and
arrows and knives, and the fourth carried IL
| fan. About 400 yards behind them came
fully $40 others We could see that there
was Il great conlmotion among them. AS We
advanced so did the kiackS, but when we
were $40 yards from them they suddenly
stopped padding and would not como any
nearer | called and hailed. but all to 10
purpose. l saw they were distrustful, so
| told our Huskic to hail them.
''-ls soon rs lie spoke the" recognized his
voice. and | ha!locd: .go-to-ch-nuck' uhc

chiefs anic, when they readily came up to
U.S. followed 10y the Others. We We're now
about 100 yards from the shore. and to take
time | lowered the sail and made the men
pull. Our Iluskie now told thcm who and
what was, and made them II long speech,
and sent them off to tell tho others, whth
they Instantly did, apparently i'll great
glee. We went slowly on purpose, to
give them IL good chance os having q
men and :..5O women and children now wait
ing for Us to land We no sooner touched
the beach than jumped out and shook hands,
ha, ing taken care previously, however, to
load my revolver and put i, in my pocket.
