The
scout
turned
to
Heyward
,
and
regarded
him
a
moment
with
unconcealed
amazement
.
Then
opening
wide
his
mouth
,
he
indulged
in
unrestrained
and
heartfelt
laughter
,
though
in
that
silent
and
peculiar
manner
which
danger
had
so
long
taught
him
to
practise
.
Repeating
the
words
,
"
fellows
who
are
dodging
about
the
water
!
"
he
added
,
"
so
much
for
schooling
and
passing
a
boyhood
in
the
settlements
!
The
knave
has
long
legs
,
though
,
and
shall
not
be
trusted
.
Do
you
keep
him
under
your
rifle
while
I
creep
in
behind
,
through
the
bush
,
and
take
him
alive
.
Fire
on
no
account
.
"
Heyward
had
already
permitted
his
companion
to
bury
part
of
his
person
in
the
thicket
,
when
,
stretching
forth
an
arm
,
he
arrested
him
,
in
order
to
ask
--
"
If
I
see
you
in
danger
,
may
I
not
risk
a
shot
?
"
Hawkeye
regarded
him
a
moment
,
like
one
who
knew
not
how
to
take
the
question
;
then
nodding
his
head
,
he
answered
,
still
laughing
,
though
inaudibly
--
"
Fire
a
whole
platoon
,
major
.
"
In
the
next
moment
he
was
concealed
by
the
leaves
Duncan
waited
several
minutes
in
feverish
impatience
,
before
he
caught
another
glimpse
of
the
scout
.
Then
he
reappeared
,
creeping
along
the
earth
,
from
which
his
dress
was
hardly
distinguishable
,
directly
in
the
rear
of
his
intended
captive
.
Having
reached
within
a
few
yards
of
the
latter
,
he
arose
to
his
feet
,
silently
and
slowly
.
At
that
instant
,
several
loud
blows
were
struck
on
the
water
,
and
Duncan
turned
his
eyes
just
in
time
to
perceive
that
a
hundred
dark
forms
were
plunging
,
in
a
body
,
into
the
troubled
little
sheet
.
Grasping
his
rifle
,
his
looks
were
again
bent
on
the
Indian
near
him
.
Instead
of
taking
the
alarm
,
the
unconscious
savage
stretched
forward
his
neck
,
as
if
he
also
watched
the
movements
about
the
gloomy
lake
,
with
a
sort
of
silly
curiosity
.
In
the
meantime
,
the
uplifted
hand
of
Hawkeye
was
above
him
.
But
,
without
any
apparent
reason
,
it
was
withdrawn
,
and
its
owner
indulged
in
another
long
,
though
still
silent
,
fit
of
merriment
.
When
the
peculiar
and
hearty
laughter
of
Hawkeye
was
ended
,
instead
of
grasping
his
victim
by
the
throat
,
he
tapped
him
lightly
on
the
shoulder
,
and
exclaimed
aloud
--
"
How
now
,
friend
!
have
you
a
mind
to
teach
the
beavers
to
sing
?
"
"
Even
so
,
"
was
the
ready
answer
.
"
It
would
seem
that
the
Being
that
gave
them
power
to
improve
his
gifts
so
well
,
would
not
deny
them
voices
to
proclaim
his
praise
.
"
