I'VE were very well received
by their great chief and all the
savages of the village. They gave
US food and drink. among other
things, bison, bear and deer flesh
and all sorts of fruit in album
dance, such as peaches, plums,
watermelons, and all of an ex-
quisite flavor. The pumpkins
are much better than in France;
they are cooked without water,
and the juice which comes out of
them is like sirup, so sweet 1t Is.
In regard to the watermelons,
they are almost like those in
France. The peaches are better
and larger, but the plums are not
so good; they are of two kinds,
white and red. They served us
also with their hominy tsagamiteJ
which is a kind of porridge made
with corn and beans which are
like those in France. Their
bread is of corn and a grain
which comes from the canes.
They have plates made of wood
and others of earthenware; they
are very well made, although by
the hand of savages. The women
of the savages also make large
earthen pots, almost like big ket-
ties, which perhaps hold forty
pints, in which they have their
hominy cooked for two or three
families. This is the way they
arrange among themselves in or
der not to have the trouble OF
doing the same thing every day.
each doing in his turn for their
cabins.
we slept in the house of the
great chief on beds of cane which
are plated and tied, like beds of
sacking interlaced with each 9TH
er, and covered with buffalo
skins. The next morning we went
to walk in their fields where they
SOW their corn. The women were
there with their men, working.
The savages have flat bent sticks
which they use to hoe their
ground. !"
Dumont writing in 1880 gives
a description of the buried cere-
monies of these two tribes
THE Pascagoulas and the BIZ
loxis never inter their chief when
he is dead, but they have his
body dried in the fire and smoke
so that it is a veritable skeleton.
After reducing it to this condi-
ton they carry 1t to the temple
(for they have one as well as the
Natchez) and put it in the place
of its predecessor, which they
take from the place it occupied
to place it with the bodies of their
other chiefs in the interior of the
temple where they are all rang
ed in succession on their feet
like statues"
After the body of the chief has
been placed in the temple, for
a long period OF time food is
brought to be placed before him
on a table, as if he needed food,
and although the natives evident
ly know that the food is devour-
ed by wild animals or by people,
they always answer any argu-
ment by saying, This is the way
our fathers did and why should
we do differently"
TO these friendly tribes along
the Pascagoula. the early settlers
owed much. In times Of famine
they furnished food and ON sew
eral occasions took the starving
settlers into their homes till sup
plies arrived.
BY 1910, or probably earlier,
these Blocks and PaScagoulas
had moved as far west as the
Mississippi river and later into
Louisiana and Texas. The Chloe
taws took yer the land they
left, and later they were moved

FINANCE FLASt IFS
By S/Sgt. Jack s. Batten


 Since "The Brush" Coule and Horatio Cashdollar have been bringing you the Finance news for the past two weeks, this weeks re- port may seem dull in comparison but, anyway, we'll take crack at it.
 Jim Kiely gathered together all his cohorts the other night and in- vited them to the NCO Club with him. Of course, the beer was free. Jim amused himself most of the night playing pool and attending to his own pleasures, as usual. "The Brush" had hard time convincing 'The Hook" that his citations were imaginary and only the envy of one person. Charleston Cal" Rus sell did solo dance for his admir- ing audience and says that he may be contacted at the Finance Office for private instruction.
 Thanks to S/Sgt. Savino of Base Ordnance for making possible the opening of the Rec Hall. The cue ball had been lost for some time when he volunteered to substitute for it. Howeevr, he says that he did have hair on his head at one time and has the picture to prove it.
 Terry Lynch of Signal joined the boys at the barn dance and en- joyed himself to the utmost. He danced every dance and seemed none the less worse for wear. As a matter of fact, he says it is better exercise than PIT.
 Jean Gravel Gertie" Gesualdi has resumed her taxi service and is willing to accept proposals from anyone with a c gas ration book. Pappy Flanigan tells us that he is glad he can get two packs of cigarettes now on coupon as he is nervous in the service and takes advantage of smoking both packs.
