The man that Agate calls M’Gill

The man that Agate calls M’Gill and the man that artist Agate draws and calls “Bamboo Kain” is most probably the same man: “Bamboo Kain” and “Bira-Bahn” are likely one and the same. Agate’s detailed drawing and a well-known rough sketch of M’Gill that later appears in Captain Wilkes’ summary of his US expedition are remarkably similar. The men wear the same clothing, their headdress is the same, their beards and the expression on their faces is the same.
