�33.

Maja-Obseoose, or Pimolos Rock- This is a large Rock of granite in form of a small hay stack- and on the South side near the top is a circular hole in form of a pot 2 feet deep- the Indians say it has been their custom to place in this cavity when the water is low, presents for Pimola, of Tobacco, Pipes, Jacknives etc, and if they are not taken out, they have a bad season for hunting and fishing the next year- and if taken out they have great good luck in every thing.- 1/2 mile above this Rock the Mad-awamkee comes in from the S.E. this is a large and long stream- it has on all its branches 13 ponds, some very large.-

Madawamkee Point, North of the Stream, the present residence of John Attien, the Indian Governor, is a very pleasant situation- there are three very good Wigwams here, and they have raised this season 60 bushels of corn- 200 bushels of potatoes- beans and peas etc.- The corn is of a small yellow kind and ripened early and is good.- Arrived at the Governor's camp at 7.P.M. and stay here this night.
