They have also themselves preserved the history of these events especially the latter, deeply en graved in their memories. They say that for a long time it was ma trmdimk, matuadirak, war, war, - that finally they made peace. The English Governor met with them in Council; be and the Indian chief smoked the pipe of peace together; they then dug a hole in the earth, and buried their weapons. Thev remark with em asis, that the Tomahawk, or T'osicgua, as is the Micmac name, was uried lowest. This implied that the Indian would not pull up his weapon, until the English should have pulled a his. He would not be the first to violate the And they say ey have always strictl adhered to it; butthat the glish have not; a charge, alas! Too wel founded.
