| Commentary: | “Then with Tommo’s consent, I set about making a sketch. From the outside, the Indians peeped into the tent, crowding about and watching me as I worked. When I finished the drawing, I presented the woman (Tommo’s wife) with the likeness of her chief: she took it, looked at it, shrieked and laughed, and shrieked and shrieked again.” (trip diary) The size given is the view. See #194 for further commentary.
