            Companions, and there entertained him three Days with a great Deal of Humanity, and then
            returned with him near the Place they found him, made hime a Present of a Piece of
            scarlet Baze, and an Ax; he appeared overjoy'd at the Present, and left them with
            seeming satisfaction.</p>
