Will
this
assist
in
explaining
the
difficulty
?
"
said
Heyward
,
pointing
towards
the
fragments
of
a
sort
of
handbarrow
,
that
had
been
rudely
constructed
of
boughs
,
and
bound
together
with
withes
,
and
which
now
seemed
carelessly
cast
aside
as
useless
.
"
'
Tis
explained
!
"
cried
the
delighted
Hawkeye
.
"
If
them
varlets
have
passed
a
minute
,
they
have
spent
hours
in
striving
to
fabricate
a
lying
end
to
their
trail
!
Well
,
I
've
known
them
to
waste
a
day
in
the
same
manner
,
to
as
little
purpose
.
Here
we
have
three
pair
of
moccasins
,
and
two
of
little
feet
.
It
is
amazing
that
any
mortal
beings
can
journey
on
limbs
so
small
!
Pass
me
the
thong
of
buckskin
,
Uncas
,
and
let
me
take
the
length
of
this
foot
.
By
the
Lord
,
it
is
no
longer
than
a
child
's
and
yet
the
maidens
are
tall
and
comely
.
That
Providence
is
partial
in
its
gifts
,
for
its
own
wise
reasons
,
the
best
and
most
contented
of
us
must
allow
.
"
"
The
tender
limbs
of
my
daughters
are
unequal
to
these
hardships
,
"
said
Munro
,
looking
at
the
light
footsteps
of
his
children
,
with
a
parent
's
love
:
"
we
shall
find
their
fainting
forms
in
this
desert
.
"
"
Of
that
there
is
little
cause
of
fear
,
"
returned
the
scout
,
slowly
shaking
his
head
;
"
this
is
a
firm
and
straight
,
though
a
light
step
,
and
not
over
long
.
See
,
the
heel
has
hardly
touched
the
ground
;
and
there
the
dark-hair
has
made
a
little
jump
,
from
root
to
root
.
No
,
no
;
my
knowledge
for
it
,
neither
of
them
was
nigh
fainting
,
hereaway
.
Now
,
the
singer
was
beginning
to
be
foot-sore
and
leg-weary
as
is
plain
by
his
trail
.
There
,
you
see
,
he
slipped
;
here
he
has
travelled
wide
,
and
tottered
;
and
there
,
again
,
it
looks
as
though
he
journeyed
on
snow-shoes
.
Ay
,
ay
,
a
man
who
uses
his
throat
altogether
,
can
hardly
give
his
legs
a
proper
training
.
"
From
such
undeniable
testimony
did
the
practised
woodsman
arrive
at
the
truth
,
with
nearly
as
much
certainty
and
precision
as
if
he
had
been
a
witness
of
all
those
events
which
his
ingenuity
so
easily
elucidated
.
Cheered
by
these
assurances
,
and
satisfied
by
a
reasoning
that
was
so
obvious
,
while
it
was
so
simple
,
the
party
resumed
its
course
,
after
making
a
short
halt
to
take
a
hurried
repast
.
When
the
meal
was
ended
,
the
scout
cast
a
glance
upwards
at
the
setting
sun
,
and
pushed
forward
with
a
rapidity
which
compelled
Heyward
and
the
still
vigorous
Munro
to
exert
all
their
muscles
to
equal
.
Their
route
now
lay
along
the
bottom
which
had
already
been
mentioned
.
As
the
Hurons
had
made
no
further
efforts
to
conceal
their
footsteps
,
the
progress
of
the
pursuers
was
no
longer
delayed
by
uncertainty
.
Before
an
hour
had
elapsed
,
however
,
the
speed
of
Hawkeye
sensibly
abated
,
and
his
head
,
instead
of
maintaining
its
former
direct
and
forward
look
,
began
to
turn
suspiciously
from
side
to
side
,
as
if
he
were
conscious
of
approaching
danger
.
He
soon
stopped
again
,
and
waited
for
the
whole
party
to
come
up
.
"
I
scent
the
Hurons
,
"
he
said
,
speaking
to
the
Mohicans
;
"
yonder
is
open
sky
,
through
the
tree-tops
,
and
we
are
getting
too
nigh
their
encampment
.
Sagamore
,
you
will
take
the
hillside
,
to
the
right
;
Uncas
will
bend
along
the
brook
to
the
left
,
while
I
will
try
the
trail
.
If
anything
should
happen
,
the
call
will
be
three
croaks
of
a
crow
.
I
saw
one
of
the
birds
fanning
himself
in
the
air
,
just
beyond
the
dead
oak
--
another
sign
that
we
are
touching
an
encampment
.
"
The
Indians
departed
their
several
ways
without
reply
,
while
Hawkeye
cautiously
proceeded
with
the
two
gentlemen
.
Heyward
soon
pressed
to
the
side
of
their
guide
,
eager
to
catch
an
early
glimpse
of
those
enemies
he
had
pursued
with
so
much
toil
and
anxiety
.
His
companion
told
him
to
steal
to
the
edge
of
the
wood
,
which
,
as
usual
,
was
fringed
with
a
thicket
,
and
wait
his
coming
,
for
he
wished
to
examine
certain
suspicious
signs
a
little
on
one
side
.
Duncan
obeyed
,
and
soon
found
himself
in
a
situation
to
command
a
view
which
he
found
as
extraordinary
as
it
was
novel
.
