After the feast there was a dance; but I was already so fatigued with the ceremonies I had gone through, that I retired to Kanagatucko's hot-house; but was prevented taking any repose by the smoke, with which I was almost suffocated, and the croud of Indians that came and sat on the bed-side; which indeed was not much calculated for repose to any but Indians, or those that had passed an apprenticeship to their ways, as I had done: it was composed of a few boards, spread with bear-skins, without any other covering; the house being so hot, that I could not endure the weight of my own blanket.
After the feast there was a dance. But I was already so tired from the ceremonies I had been through that I went off to Kanagatucko's hot-house. There I could get no rest. The smoke nearly choked me, and a crowd of Indians came and sat by the bed. The bed indeed was not well suited for rest for anyone but Indians, or those who had served an apprenticeship to their ways, as I had. It was made of a few boards spread with bearskins, without any other covering. The house was so hot that I could not bear the weight of my own blanket.
