Magua
waited
a
little
,
to
permit
his
words
to
soften
the
feelings
of
the
Delawares
,
before
he
added
--
"
Have
there
not
been
strange
moccasins
in
the
woods
?
Have
not
my
brothers
scented
the
feet
of
white
men
?
"
"
Let
my
Canada
father
come
,
"
returned
the
other
evasively
;
"
his
children
are
ready
to
see
him
.
"
When
the
great
chief
comes
,
it
is
to
smoke
with
the
Indians
in
their
wigwams
.
The
Hurons
say
,
too
,
he
is
welcome
.
But
the
Yengeese
have
long
arms
,
and
legs
that
never
tire
!
My
young
men
dreamed
they
had
seen
the
trail
of
the
Yengeese
nigh
the
village
of
the
Delawares
?
"
"
They
will
not
find
the
Lenape
asleep
.
"
"
It
is
well
.
The
warrior
whose
eye
is
open
can
see
his
enemy
,
"
said
Magua
,
once
more
shifting
his
ground
,
when
he
found
himself
unable
to
penetrate
the
caution
of
his
companion
.
"
I
have
brought
gifts
to
my
brother
.
His
nation
would
not
go
on
the
war-path
because
they
did
not
think
it
well
;
but
their
friends
have
remembered
where
they
lived
.
"
When
he
had
thus
announced
his
liberal
intention
,
the
crafty
chief
arose
,
and
gravely
spread
his
presents
before
the
dazzled
eyes
of
his
hosts
.
They
consisted
principally
of
trinkets
of
little
value
,
plundered
from
the
slaughtered
females
of
William
Henry
.
In
the
division
of
the
baubles
the
cunning
Huron
discovered
no
less
art
than
in
their
selection
.
While
he
bestowed
those
of
greater
value
on
the
two
most
distinguished
warriors
,
one
of
whom
was
his
host
,
he
seasoned
his
offerings
to
their
inferiors
with
such
well-timed
and
apposite
compliments
,
as
left
them
no
grounds
of
complaint
.
In
short
,
the
whole
ceremony
contained
such
a
happy
blending
of
the
profitable
with
the
flattering
,
that
it
was
not
difficult
for
the
donor
immediately
to
read
the
effect
of
a
generosity
so
aptly
mingled
with
praise
,
in
the
eyes
of
those
he
addressed
.
This
well-judged
and
politic
stroke
on
the
part
of
Magua
was
not
without
instantaneous
results
.
The
Delawares
lost
their
gravity
in
a
much
more
cordial
expression
;
and
the
host
,
in
particular
,
after
contemplating
his
own
liberal
share
of
the
spoil
for
some
moments
with
peculiar
gratification
,
repeated
with
strong
emphasis
,
the
words
--
"
My
brother
is
a
wise
chief
.
He
is
welcome
!
"
"
The
Hurons
love
their
friends
the
Delawares
,
"
returned
Magua
.
"
Why
should
they
not
?
they
are
colored
by
the
same
sun
,
and
their
just
men
will
hunt
in
the
same
grounds
after
death
.
The
redskins
should
be
friends
,
and
look
with
open
eyes
on
the
white
men
.
Has
not
my
brother
scented
spies
in
the
woods
?
"
