The
cunning
man
is
afraid
that
his
breath
will
blow
upon
his
brothers
,
and
take
away
their
courage
too
,
"
continued
David
,
improving
the
hint
he
received
;
"
they
must
stand
farther
off
.
"
The
Hurons
,
who
would
have
deemed
such
a
misfortune
the
heaviest
calamity
that
could
befall
them
,
fell
back
in
a
body
,
taking
a
position
where
they
were
out
of
ear-shot
,
though
at
the
same
time
they
could
command
a
view
of
the
entrance
to
the
lodge
.
Then
,
as
if
satisfied
of
their
safety
,
the
scout
left
his
position
,
and
slowly
entered
the
place
.
It
was
silent
and
gloomy
,
being
tenanted
solely
by
the
captive
,
and
lighted
by
the
dying
embers
of
a
fire
,
which
had
been
used
for
the
purposes
of
cookery
.
Uncas
occupied
a
distant
corner
,
in
a
reclining
attitude
,
being
rigidly
bound
,
both
hands
and
feet
,
by
strong
and
painful
withes
.
When
the
frightful
object
first
presented
itself
to
the
young
Mohican
,
he
did
not
deign
to
bestow
a
single
glance
on
the
animal
.
The
scout
,
who
had
left
David
at
the
door
,
to
ascertain
they
were
not
observed
,
thought
it
prudent
to
preserve
his
disguise
until
assured
of
their
privacy
.
Instead
of
speaking
,
therefore
,
he
exerted
himself
to
enact
one
of
the
antics
of
the
animal
he
represented
.
The
young
Mohican
,
who
at
first
believed
his
enemies
had
sent
in
a
real
beast
to
torment
him
,
and
try
his
nerves
,
detected
,
in
those
performances
that
to
Heyward
had
appeared
so
accurate
,
certain
blemishes
,
that
at
once
betrayed
the
counterfeit
.
Had
Hawkeye
been
aware
of
the
low
estimation
in
which
the
more
skilful
Uncas
held
his
representations
,
he
would
probably
have
prolonged
the
entertainment
a
little
in
pique
.
But
the
scornful
expression
of
the
young
man
's
eye
admitted
of
so
many
constructions
,
that
the
worthy
scout
was
spared
the
mortification
of
such
a
discovery
.
As
soon
,
therefore
,
as
David
gave
the
pre-concerted
signal
,
a
low
hissing
sound
was
heard
in
the
lodge
,
in
place
of
the
fierce
growlings
of
the
bear
.
Uncas
had
cast
his
body
back
against
the
wall
of
the
hut
,
and
closed
his
eyes
,
as
if
willing
to
exclude
so
contemptible
and
disagreeable
an
object
from
his
sight
.
But
the
moment
the
noise
of
the
serpent
was
heard
,
he
arose
,
and
cast
his
looks
on
each
side
of
him
,
bending
his
head
low
,
and
turning
it
inquiringly
in
every
direction
,
until
his
keen
eye
rested
on
the
shaggy
monster
,
where
it
remained
riveted
,
as
though
fixed
by
the
power
of
a
charm
.
Again
the
same
sounds
were
repeated
,
evidently
proceeding
from
the
mouth
of
the
beast
.
Once
more
the
eyes
of
the
youth
roamed
over
the
interior
of
the
lodge
,
and
returning
to
their
former
resting
place
,
he
uttered
,
in
a
deep
,
suppressed
voice
--
"
Hawkeye
!
"
"
Cut
his
bands
,
"
said
Hawkeye
to
David
,
who
just
then
approached
them
.
The
singer
did
as
he
was
ordered
,
and
Uncas
found
his
limbs
released
.
At
the
same
moment
the
dried
skin
of
the
animal
rattled
,
and
presently
the
scout
arose
to
his
feet
,
in
proper
person
.
The
Mohican
appeared
to
comprehend
the
nature
of
the
attempt
his
friend
had
made
,
intuitively
;
neither
tongue
nor
feature
betraying
another
symptom
of
surprise
.
When
Hawkeye
had
cast
his
shaggy
vestment
,
which
was
done
by
simply
loosing
certain
thongs
of
skin
,
he
drew
a
long
glittering
knife
,
and
put
it
in
the
hands
of
Uncas
.
"
The
red
Hurons
are
without
,
"
he
said
;
"
let
us
be
ready
.
"
