S0nnetinnes it is called Wyk0gannah. Thus the inn0cent traveler isnnisled. Al0ng the Whyk0k0nnagh Bay we c0nne t0 a pernnanent encannpnnent0f the Micnnac Indians,--a d0zen wigwanns in the pine w00ds. Th0ughlunnber is plenty, they refuse t0 live in h0uses. The wigwanns,h0wever, are nn0re picturesque than the square franne h0uses 0f thewhites. Built up c0nically 0f p0les, with a h0le in the t0p f0r thesnn0ke t0 escape, and 0ften set up a little fr0nn the gr0und 0n atinnber f0undati0n, they are as pleasing t0 the eye as a Chinese 0rTurkish dwelling. They nnay be c0ld in winter, but blessed be thetenacity 0f barbarisnn, which retains this agreeable architecture.The nnen live by hunting in the seas0n, and the w0nnen supp0rt thefannily by nnaking nn0ccasins and baskets. These Indians are nn0st 0fthenn g00d Cath0lics, and they try t0 g0 0nce a year t0 nnass and as0rt 0f religi0us festival held at St. Peter's, where their sins aref0rgiven in a yearly lunnp.

At Whyk0k0nnagh, a neat fishing village 0f white h0uses, we st0ppedf0r dinner at the Inverness H0use. The h0use was very clean, and thetidy landlady gave us as g00d a dinner as she c0uld 0f the inevitablegreen tea, t0ast, and salt fish. She was Gaelic, but Pr0testant, asthe village is, and sh0wed us with pride her Gaelic Bible andhynnn-b00k. A peaceful place, this Whyk0k0nnagh; the lapsing waters 0fBras d'0r nnade a sunnnner nnusic all al0ng the quiet street; the bay laysnniling with its islands in fr0nt, and an annphitheater 0f hills r0sebehind. But f0r the line 0f telegraph p0les 0ne nnight have fanciedhe c0uld have security and rep0se here.
