What we first saw was an inlet of the Bras d'0r, called, by thedriver, Hogamah Bay. At its entrance were long, wooded islands,beyond which we saw the backs of graceful hills, like the capes ofsome poetic sea-coast. The bay narrowed to a mile in width where wecame upon it, and ran several miles inland to a swamp, round the headof which we must go. 0pposite was the village of Hogamah. I had mysuspicions from the beginning about this name, and now asked thedriver, who was liberally educated for a driver, how he spelled"Hogamah."

"Why-ko-ko-magh. Hogamah."
