Why
not
?
"
he
repeated
.
"
That
's
correct
,
and
why
not
you
?
All
right
,
Jesse
.
I
like
you
,
and
your
pa
.
The
minute
I
'm
killed
the
scalps
is
yourn
,
and
the
scalpin
'
knife
,
too
.
And
there
's
Timothy
Grant
for
witness
.
Did
you
hear
,
Timothy
?
"
Timothy
said
he
had
heard
,
and
I
lay
there
speechless
in
the
stifling
trench
,
too
overcome
by
my
greatness
of
good
fortune
to
be
able
to
utter
a
word
of
gratitude
.
I
was
rewarded
for
my
foresight
in
going
to
the
trench
.
Another
general
attack
was
made
at
sundown
,
and
thousands
of
shots
were
fired
into
us
.
Nobody
on
our
side
was
scratched
.
On
the
other
hand
,
although
we
fired
barely
thirty
shots
,
I
saw
Laban
and
Timothy
Grant
each
get
an
Indian
.
Laban
told
me
that
from
the
first
only
the
Indians
had
done
the
shooting
.
He
was
certain
that
no
white
had
fired
a
shot
.
All
of
which
sorely
puzzled
him
.
The
whites
neither
offered
us
aid
nor
attacked
us
,
and
all
the
while
were
on
visiting
terms
with
the
Indians
who
were
attacking
us
.
Next
morning
found
the
thirst
harsh
upon
us
.
I
was
out
at
the
first
hint
of
light
.
There
had
been
a
heavy
dew
,
and
men
,
women
,
and
children
were
lapping
it
up
with
their
tongues
from
off
the
wagon-tongues
,
brake-blocks
,
and
wheel-tyres
.
There
was
talk
that
Laban
had
returned
from
a
scout
just
before
daylight
;
that
he
had
crept
close
to
the
position
of
the
whites
;
that
they
were
already
up
;
and
that
in
the
light
of
their
campfires
he
had
seen
them
praying
in
a
large
circle
.
Also
he
reported
from
what
few
words
he
caught
that
they
were
praying
about
us
and
what
was
to
be
done
with
us
.
"
May
God
send
them
the
light
then
,
"
I
heard
one
of
the
Demdike
sisters
say
to
Abby
Foxwell
.
"
And
soon
,
"
said
Abby
Foxwell
,
"
for
I
do
n't
know
what
we
'll
do
a
whole
day
without
water
,
and
our
powder
is
about
gone
.
"
Nothing
happened
all
morning
.
Not
a
shot
was
fired
.
Only
the
sun
blazed
down
through
the
quiet
air
.
Our
thirst
grew
,
and
soon
the
babies
were
crying
and
the
younger
children
whimpering
and
complaining
.
At
noon
Will
Hamilton
took
two
large
pails
and
started
for
the
spring
.
But
before
he
could
crawl
under
the
wagon
Ann
Demdike
ran
and
got
her
arms
around
him
and
tried
to
hold
him
back
.
But
he
talked
to
her
,
and
kissed
her
,
and
went
on
.
Not
a
shot
was
fired
,
nor
was
any
fired
all
the
time
he
continued
to
go
out
and
bring
back
water
.
"
Praise
God
!
"
cried
old
Mrs.
Demdike
.
"
It
is
a
sign
.
They
have
relented
.
"
This
was
the
opinion
of
many
of
the
women
.
