22 and carry it with them in all their journies. This building had four posts, fastened together, some say by four joists(?), others say by seven. In bad weather, it was covered with a kind of cloth made of deer's hair and turkey feathers. It was taken down when they travelled, and set up when they encamped. Four white seats, for the priests, were connected with this building. On the upright boards forming the back of these seats, were four pieces of carved wood, with a half moon, and so forth, on each. (Footnote a) Holy fire was handed down from "Ye, ho, waah" to them when they were in the wilderness, passing through the land given them. (Footnote b) Anciently a certain man had two sons, and one of them was peculiarly distinguish -ed for his righteousness, and therefore was chosen by "Ye, ho, waah," to be the High Priest, that is, the blank space, left for word author did not know and never filled in? and the office was to con- -tinue in his family. (Footnote c) The blank space, same as earlier was the Minister of "Ye, ho, waah", in a very special manner, to exe- -cute his will. (Footnote d) ___ a Nutsaui, Pine log. b Nutsai, Ping log. c Short Arrow. d T. Smith.
