As
the
Hurons
,
to
every
appearance
,
had
abandoned
the
pursuit
,
there
was
no
apparent
reason
for
this
excess
of
caution
.
It
was
,
however
,
maintained
for
hours
,
until
they
had
reached
a
bay
,
nigh
the
northern
termination
of
the
lake
.
Here
the
canoe
was
driven
upon
the
beach
,
and
the
whole
party
landed
.
Hawkeye
and
Heyward
ascended
an
adjacent
bluff
,
where
the
former
,
after
considering
the
expanse
of
water
beneath
him
,
pointed
out
to
the
latter
a
small
black
object
,
hovering
under
a
headland
,
at
the
distance
of
several
miles
.
"
Do
you
see
it
?
"
demanded
the
scout
.
"
Now
,
what
would
you
account
that
spot
,
were
you
left
alone
to
white
experience
to
find
your
way
through
this
wilderness
?
"
"
But
for
its
distance
and
its
magnitude
,
I
should
suppose
it
a
bird
.
Can
it
be
a
living
object
?
"
"
'
Tis
a
canoe
of
good
birchen
bark
,
and
paddled
by
fierce
and
crafty
Mingos
.
Though
Providence
has
lent
to
those
who
inhabit
the
woods
eyes
that
would
be
needless
to
men
in
the
settlements
,
where
there
are
inventions
to
assist
the
sight
,
yet
no
human
organs
can
see
all
the
dangers
which
at
this
moment
circumvent
us
.
These
varlets
pretend
to
be
bent
chiefly
on
their
sun-down
meal
,
but
the
moment
it
is
dark
they
will
be
on
our
trail
,
as
true
as
hounds
on
the
scent
.
We
must
throw
them
off
,
or
our
pursuit
of
Le
Renard
Subtil
may
be
given
up
.
These
lakes
are
useful
at
times
,
especially
when
the
game
takes
the
water
,
"
continued
the
scout
,
gazing
about
him
with
a
countenance
of
concern
;
"
but
they
give
no
cover
,
except
it
be
to
the
fishes
.
God
knows
what
the
country
would
be
,
if
the
settlements
should
ever
spread
far
from
the
two
rivers
.
Both
hunting
and
war
would
lose
their
beauty
.
"
"
Let
us
not
delay
a
moment
,
without
some
good
and
obvious
cause
.
"
"
I
little
like
that
smoke
,
which
you
may
see
worming
up
along
the
rock
above
the
canoe
,
"
interrupted
the
abstracted
scout
.
"
My
life
on
it
,
other
eyes
than
ours
see
it
,
and
know
its
meaning
.
Well
,
words
will
not
mend
the
matter
,
and
it
is
time
that
we
were
doing
.
"
Hawkeye
moved
away
from
the
look-out
,
and
descended
,
musing
profoundly
,
to
the
shore
.
He
communicated
the
result
of
his
observations
to
his
companions
,
in
Delaware
,
and
a
short
and
earnest
consultation
succeeded
.
When
it
terminated
,
the
three
instantly
set
about
executing
their
new
resolutions
.
The
canoe
was
lifted
from
the
water
,
and
borne
on
the
shoulders
of
the
party
.
They
proceeded
into
the
wood
,
making
as
broad
and
obvious
a
trail
as
possible
.
They
soon
reached
a
water-course
,
which
they
crossed
,
and
continued
onward
,
until
they
came
to
an
extensive
and
naked
rock
.
At
this
point
,
where
their
footsteps
might
be
expected
to
be
no
longer
visible
,
they
retraced
their
route
to
the
brook
,
walking
backwards
,
with
the
utmost
care
.
They
now
followed
the
bed
of
the
little
stream
to
the
lake
,
into
which
they
immediately
launched
their
canoe
again
.
A
low
point
concealed
them
from
the
headland
,
and
the
margin
of
the
lake
was
fringed
for
some
distance
with
dense
and
overhanging
bushes
Under
the
cover
of
these
natural
advantages
,
they
toiled
their
way
,
with
patient
industry
,
until
the
scout
pronounced
that
he
believed
it
would
be
safe
once
more
to
land
.
