THE CAPTAIN'S INDIAN
Reading edition
I must tell you that our captain has adopted a follower who hugs him as closely as ever shadow could. It is a savage by the name of Hobomok, whom Samoset brought to Plymouth. He must suddenly have fallen in love with our valiant warrior, for he keeps close at his heels during all the waking hours, and, as John Alden says, sleeps as near, during the night, as Captain Standish will permit.
He is called by our people "the captain's Indian," and surely he appears to be as faithful and unselfish as any dog.
