"
And
ye
,
"
returned
Uncas
,
looking
sternly
around
him
,
"
are
dogs
that
whine
,
when
the
Frenchman
casts
ye
the
offals
of
his
deer
!
"
Twenty
knives
gleamed
in
the
air
,
and
as
many
warriors
sprang
to
their
feet
,
at
this
biting
,
and
perhaps
merited
retort
;
but
a
motion
from
one
of
the
chiefs
suppressed
the
outbreaking
of
their
tempers
,
and
restored
the
appearance
of
quiet
.
The
task
might
probably
have
been
more
difficult
,
had
not
a
movement
made
by
Tamenund
indicated
that
he
was
again
about
to
speak
.
"
Delaware
!
"
resumed
the
sage
,
"
little
art
thou
worthy
of
thy
name
.
My
people
have
not
seen
a
bright
sun
in
many
winters
;
and
the
warrior
who
deserts
his
tribe
when
hid
in
clouds
is
doubly
a
traitor
.
The
law
of
the
Manitou
is
just
.
It
is
so
;
while
the
rivers
run
and
the
mountains
stand
,
while
the
blossoms
come
and
go
on
the
trees
,
it
must
be
so
.
He
is
thine
,
my
children
;
deal
justly
by
him
.
"
Not
a
limb
was
moved
,
nor
was
a
breath
drawn
louder
and
longer
than
common
,
until
the
closing
syllable
of
this
final
decree
had
passed
the
lips
of
Tamenund
.
Then
a
cry
of
vengeance
burst
at
once
,
as
it
might
be
,
from
the
united
lips
of
the
nation
;
a
frightful
augury
of
their
ruthless
intentions
.
In
the
midst
of
these
prolonged
and
savage
yells
,
a
chief
proclaimed
,
in
a
high
voice
,
that
the
captive
was
condemned
to
endure
the
dreadful
trial
of
torture
by
fire
.
The
circle
broke
its
order
,
and
screams
of
delight
mingled
with
the
bustle
and
tumult
of
preparation
.
Heyward
struggled
madly
with
his
captors
;
the
anxious
eyes
of
Hawkeye
began
to
look
around
him
,
with
an
expression
of
peculiar
earnestness
;
and
Cora
again
threw
herself
at
the
feet
of
the
patriarch
,
once
more
a
suppliant
for
mercy
.
Throughout
the
whole
of
these
trying
moments
,
Uncas
had
alone
preserved
his
serenity
.
He
looked
on
the
preparations
with
a
steady
eye
,
and
when
the
tormentors
came
to
seize
him
,
he
met
them
with
a
firm
and
upright
attitude
.
One
among
them
,
if
possible
,
more
fierce
and
savage
than
his
fellows
,
seized
the
hunting-shirt
of
the
young
warrior
,
and
at
a
single
effort
tore
it
from
his
body
.
Then
,
with
a
yell
of
frantic
pleasure
,
he
leaped
towards
his
unresisting
victim
,
and
prepared
to
lead
him
to
the
stake
.
But
,
at
that
moment
,
when
he
appeared
most
a
stranger
to
the
feelings
of
humanity
,
the
purpose
of
the
savage
was
arrested
as
suddenly
as
if
a
supernatural
agency
had
interposed
in
the
behalf
of
Uncas
.
The
eyeballs
of
the
Delaware
seemed
to
start
from
their
sockets
;
his
mouth
opened
,
and
his
whole
form
became
frozen
in
an
attitude
of
amazement
.
Raising
his
hand
with
a
slow
and
regulated
motion
,
he
pointed
with
a
finger
to
the
bosom
of
the
captive
.
His
companions
crowded
about
him
in
wonder
,
and
every
eye
was
,
like
his
own
,
fastened
intently
on
the
figure
of
a
small
tortoise
,
beautifully
tattooed
on
the
breast
of
the
prisoner
,
in
a
bright
blue
tint
.
For
a
single
instant
Uncas
enjoyed
his
triumph
,
smiling
calmly
on
the
scene
.
Then
motioning
the
crowd
away
with
a
high
and
haughty
sweep
of
his
arm
,
he
advanced
in
front
of
the
nation
with
the
air
of
a
king
,
and
spoke
in
a
voice
louder
than
the
murmur
of
admiration
that
ran
through
the
multitude
.
"
Men
of
the
Lenni
Lenape
!
"
he
said
,
"
my
race
upholds
the
earth
!
Your
feeble
tribe
stands
on
my
shell
!
What
fire
that
a
Delaware
can
light
would
burn
the
child
of
my
fathers
,
"
he
added
,
pointing
proudly
to
the
simple
blazonry
on
his
skin
;
"
the
blood
that
came
from
such
a
stock
would
smother
your
flames
!
My
race
is
the
grandfather
of
nations
!
"
"
Who
art
thou
?
"
demanded
Tamenund
,
rising
at
the
startling
tones
he
heard
,
more
than
at
any
meaning
conveyed
by
the
language
of
the
prisoner
.
"
Uncas
,
the
son
of
Chingachgook
,
"
answered
the
captive
modestly
,
turning
from
the
nation
,
and
bending
his
head
in
reverence
to
the
other
's
character
and
years
;
"
a
son
of
the
great
Unamis
.
"
