No. 6. JOHN SMITH MAKING TOYS FOR
POCAHONTAS. The worthy captain having, thanks
to Pocahontas, miraculously escaped death, as pictured
and described on card No. 5, was required to remain with
Powhatan to make "bells, beads and copper" for his
favorite child. It was a very curious fate for the hardy
campaigner of many wars, to be buried in the Virginia
woods, the fashioner of toys for an Indian girl, and the
soldier with his tanned face and sweeping mustache,
shaping trinkets for the small slip of Virginia royalty, in
her robe of feathers, white plumes and coral bracelets,
presents an unusually interesting and attractive picture.
Capt. Smith remained with Powhatan for a year; they
had sworn eternal friendship, and the King offered to
adopt and give him a portion of his domain for a Duke-
dom, but in compliance with his repeatedly expressed
desire to return to Jamestown, he was finally permitted
to do so. (See cards 4, 5, 7 and 14.)
