Duncan
,
who
was
not
altogether
as
easy
under
this
nice
estimate
of
distances
as
his
companions
,
was
glad
to
find
,
however
,
that
owing
to
their
superior
dexterity
,
and
the
diversion
among
their
enemies
,
they
were
very
sensibly
obtaining
the
advantage
.
The
Hurons
soon
fired
again
,
and
a
bullet
struck
the
blade
of
Hawkeye
's
paddle
without
injury
.
"
That
will
do
,
"
said
the
scout
,
examining
the
slight
indentation
with
a
curious
eye
;
"
it
would
not
have
cut
the
skin
of
an
infant
,
much
less
of
men
,
who
,
like
us
,
have
been
blown
upon
by
the
heavens
in
their
anger
.
Now
,
major
,
if
you
will
try
to
use
this
piece
of
flattened
wood
,
I
'll
let
'
Killdeer
'
take
a
part
in
the
conversation
.
"
Heyward
seized
the
paddle
,
and
applied
himself
to
the
work
with
an
eagerness
that
supplied
the
place
of
skill
,
while
Hawkeye
was
engaged
in
inspecting
the
priming
of
his
rifle
.
The
latter
then
took
a
swift
aim
,
and
fired
.
The
Huron
in
the
bows
of
the
leading
canoe
had
risen
with
a
similar
object
,
and
he
now
fell
backward
,
suffering
his
gun
to
escape
from
his
hands
into
the
water
.
In
an
instant
,
however
,
he
recovered
his
feet
,
though
his
gestures
were
wild
and
bewildered
.
At
the
same
moment
his
companions
suspended
their
efforts
,
and
the
chasing
canoes
clustered
together
,
and
became
stationary
.
Chingachgook
and
Uncas
profited
by
the
interval
to
regain
their
wind
,
though
Duncan
continued
to
work
with
the
most
persevering
industry
.
The
father
and
son
now
cast
calm
but
inquiring
glances
at
each
other
,
to
learn
if
either
had
sustained
any
injury
by
the
fire
;
for
both
well
knew
that
no
cry
or
exclamation
would
,
in
such
a
moment
of
necessity
,
have
been
permitted
to
betray
the
accident
.
A
few
large
drops
of
blood
were
trickling
down
the
shoulder
of
the
Sagamore
,
who
,
when
he
perceived
that
the
eyes
of
Uncas
dwelt
too
long
on
the
sight
,
raised
some
water
in
the
hollow
of
his
hand
,
and
washing
off
the
stain
,
was
content
to
manifest
,
in
this
simple
manner
,
the
slightness
of
the
injury
.
"
Softly
,
softly
,
major
,
"
said
the
scout
,
who
by
this
time
had
reloaded
his
rifle
;
"
we
are
a
little
too
far
already
for
a
rifle
to
put
forth
its
beauties
,
and
you
see
yonder
imps
are
holding
a
council
.
Let
them
come
up
within
striking
distance
--
my
eye
may
well
be
trusted
in
such
a
matter
--
and
I
will
trail
the
varlets
the
length
of
the
Horican
,
guaranteeing
that
not
a
shot
of
theirs
shall
,
at
the
worst
,
more
than
break
the
skin
,
while
'
Killdeer
'
shall
touch
the
life
twice
in
three
times
.
"
"
We
forget
our
errand
,
"
returned
the
diligent
Duncan
.
"
For
God
's
sake
let
us
profit
by
this
advantage
,
and
increase
our
distance
from
the
enemy
.
"
"
Give
me
my
children
,
"
said
Munro
hoarsely
;
"
trifle
no
longer
with
a
father
's
agony
,
but
restore
me
my
babes
.
"
Long
and
habitual
deference
to
the
mandates
of
his
superiors
had
taught
the
scout
the
virtue
of
obedience
.
Throwing
a
last
and
lingering
glance
at
the
distant
canoes
,
he
laid
aside
his
rifle
,
and
relieving
the
wearied
Duncan
,
resumed
the
paddle
,
which
he
wielded
with
sinews
that
never
tired
.
His
efforts
were
seconded
by
those
of
the
Mohicans
,
and
a
very
few
minutes
served
to
place
such
a
sheet
of
water
between
them
and
their
enemies
,
that
Heyward
once
more
breathed
freely
.
The
lake
now
began
to
expand
,
and
their
route
lay
along
a
wide
reach
,
that
was
lined
,
as
before
,
by
high
and
ragged
mountains
.
But
the
islands
were
few
,
and
easily
avoided
.
The
strokes
of
the
paddles
grew
more
measured
and
regular
,
while
they
who
plied
them
continued
their
labor
,
after
the
close
and
deadly
chase
from
which
they
had
just
relieved
themselves
,
with
as
much
coolness
as
though
their
speed
had
been
tried
in
sport
,
rather
than
under
such
pressing
,
nay
,
almost
desperate
circumstances
.
Instead
of
following
the
western
shore
,
whither
their
errand
led
them
,
the
wary
Mohican
inclined
his
course
more
towards
those
hills
behind
which
Montcalm
was
known
to
have
led
his
army
into
the
formidable
fortress
of
Ticonderoga
.
