PEACE, COUPLED WITH INVITATION.

Motion of spreading a real or imaginary robe or skin on the ground.

Noticed by Lewis and Clark on their first meeting with the Shoshoni

in 1805. (_Lewis and Clark's Travels_, &c., London, 1817, vol. ii, p.

74.) This signal is more particularly described as follows: Grasp the

blanket by the two corners with the hands, throw it above the head,

allowing it to unfold as it falls to the ground as if in the act of

spreading it.
