Deceits in Indigo.
I Have told you, that when the Work-men have made up the Indigo-
Pafte in- lumps , with their fingers dipt in Oil, they lay them in
the Sun a drying- Now thole that have a defign to cheat the Merchants,
dry them in the fand, to the end that the band flicking to the Indigo,
thould encreafe the weight. Sometimes they lay up their Pafte in moift
places, which makes it give, and confequently renders it more heavy.
But if the Governour of the place difcovers the cheat, he makes them
feverelypay for it: and the beft way of difcovery is to burn fome pieces
of Indigo, for the band will remain.
Indian Breakers.
T He Broakers ase as it were the Mafters of the Indian Families 5 for
they have all Goods at their difpofal. The Work-men choofe the
moll aged and moll experienc’d, who are to endeavour equal advantages
for the whole Tribe they undertake for. Every evening that they return
from their bufinefs , and that, according to thecullom of the Indians,
who make no Simpers, they have eaten fome little piece of fweet-meat,
and drank a glafs if water, the eldeft of the Tribe meet at the Broaker’s
