        The Indians tell Zhang they learned of meridians from the
Jesuits. One of the Mohawk chiefs named Hendricks said that one story
has it that they learned of meridians from "powerful Strangers, much
earlier."

        Mason and Dixon bicker over the expression "He who would hang
his dog, first gives out that he is mad."

        That night Wicks dreams that he flies above the visto straight
west. He speculates that it might not have been a dream but that he
might actually have somehow been transported to the west. He is scouting
out the Great Warrior Path. He imagines that if the visto was allowed to
cross the path, then two taverns would be erected at the crossroads and
great commerce would take place.

        One night Mason asks the Indians where their heaven is located
and they point west. They ask Mason the same question and he points up.
Mason and Dixon discuss with the Indians the possibility of life on
other planets and how this might affect their feelings about God. .
Another Mohawk Chief named Daniel says that people from the spirit world
have contacted the Indians.

        A young warrior named Jemmy says that they should "explain about
the bait" used by Indians to attract the spirits to them.
