The
outer
apartment
of
the
cavern
was
silent
and
gloomy
.
The
woman
lay
in
her
usual
place
and
posture
,
though
there
were
those
present
who
affirmed
they
had
seen
her
borne
to
the
woods
,
by
the
supposed
"
medicine
of
the
white
men
.
"
Such
a
direct
and
palpable
contradiction
of
the
tale
related
by
the
father
,
caused
all
eyes
to
be
turned
on
him
.
Chafed
by
the
silent
imputation
,
and
inwardly
troubled
by
so
unaccountable
a
circumstance
,
the
chief
advanced
to
the
side
of
the
bed
,
and
stooping
,
cast
an
incredulous
look
at
the
features
,
as
if
distrusting
their
reality
.
His
daughter
was
dead
.
The
unerring
feeling
of
nature
,
for
a
moment
prevailed
,
and
the
old
warrior
hid
his
eyes
in
sorrow
.
Then
recovering
his
self-possession
,
he
faced
his
companions
,
and
pointing
towards
the
corpse
,
he
said
,
in
the
language
of
his
people
--
"
The
wife
of
my
young
man
has
left
us
!
the
Great
Spirit
is
angry
with
his
children
.
"
The
mournful
intelligence
was
received
in
solemn
silence
.
After
a
short
pause
,
one
of
the
elder
Indians
was
about
to
speak
,
when
a
dark-looking
object
was
seen
rolling
out
of
an
adjoining
apartment
,
into
the
very
centre
of
the
room
where
they
stood
.
Ignorant
of
the
nature
of
the
beings
they
had
to
deal
with
,
the
whole
party
drew
back
a
little
,
and
gazed
in
admiration
,
until
the
object
fronted
the
light
,
and
rising
on
end
,
exhibited
the
distorted
,
but
still
fierce
and
sullen
features
of
Magua
.
The
discovery
was
succeeded
by
a
general
exclamation
of
amazement
.
As
soon
,
however
,
as
the
true
situation
of
the
chief
was
understood
,
several
ready
knives
appeared
,
and
his
limbs
and
tongue
were
quickly
released
.
The
Huron
arose
,
and
shook
himself
like
a
lion
quitting
his
lair
.
Not
a
word
escaped
him
,
though
his
hand
played
convulsively
with
the
handle
of
his
knife
,
while
his
lowering
eyes
scanned
the
whole
party
,
as
if
they
sought
an
object
suited
to
the
first
burst
of
his
vengeance
.
It
was
happy
for
Uncas
and
the
scout
,
and
even
David
,
that
they
were
all
beyond
the
reach
of
his
arm
at
such
a
moment
;
for
,
assuredly
,
no
refinement
in
cruelty
would
then
have
deferred
their
deaths
,
in
opposition
to
the
promptings
of
the
fierce
temper
that
nearly
choked
him
.
Meeting
everywhere
faces
that
he
knew
as
friends
,
the
savage
grated
his
teeth
together
like
rasps
of
iron
,
and
swallowed
his
passion
for
want
of
a
victim
on
whom
to
vent
it
.
This
exhibition
of
anger
was
noted
by
all
present
;
and
,
from
an
apprehension
of
exasperating
a
temper
that
was
already
chafed
nearly
to
madness
,
several
minutes
were
suffered
to
pass
before
another
word
was
uttered
.
When
,
however
,
suitable
time
had
elapsed
,
the
oldest
of
the
party
spoke
.
"
My
friend
has
found
an
enemy
,
"
he
said
.
"
Is
he
nigh
,
that
the
Hurons
may
take
revenge
?
"
"
Let
the
Delaware
die
!
"
exclaimed
Magua
,
in
a
voice
of
thunder
.
