"
There
speaks
the
Sagamore
!
"
shouted
Hawkeye
,
answering
the
cry
with
his
own
stentorian
voice
;
"
we
have
them
now
in
face
and
back
!
"
The
effect
on
the
Hurons
was
instantaneous
.
Discouraged
by
an
assault
from
a
quarter
that
left
them
no
opportunity
for
cover
,
their
warriors
uttered
a
common
yell
of
disappointment
,
and
breaking
off
in
a
body
,
they
spread
themselves
across
the
opening
,
heedless
of
every
consideration
but
flight
.
Many
fell
,
in
making
the
experiment
,
under
the
bullets
and
the
blows
of
the
pursuing
Delawares
.
We
shall
not
pause
to
detail
the
meeting
between
the
scout
and
Chingachgook
,
or
the
more
touching
interview
that
Duncan
held
with
Munro
.
A
few
brief
and
hurried
words
served
to
explain
the
state
of
things
to
both
parties
;
and
then
Hawkeye
pointing
out
the
Sagamore
to
his
band
,
resigned
the
chief
authority
into
the
hands
of
the
Mohican
chief
.
Chingachgook
assumed
the
station
to
which
his
birth
and
experience
gave
him
so
distinguished
a
claim
,
with
the
grave
dignity
that
always
gives
force
to
the
mandates
of
a
native
warrior
.
Following
the
footsteps
of
the
scout
,
he
led
the
party
back
through
the
thicket
,
his
men
scalping
the
fallen
Hurons
,
and
secreting
the
bodies
of
their
own
dead
as
they
proceeded
,
until
they
gained
a
point
where
the
former
was
content
to
make
a
halt
.
The
warriors
,
who
had
breathed
themselves
freely
in
the
preceding
struggle
,
were
now
posted
on
a
bit
of
level
ground
,
sprinkled
with
trees
in
sufficient
numbers
to
conceal
them
.
The
land
fell
away
rather
precipitately
in
front
,
and
beneath
their
eyes
stretched
,
for
several
miles
,
a
narrow
,
dark
,
and
wooded
vale
.
It
was
through
this
dense
and
dark
forest
that
Uncas
was
still
contending
with
the
main
body
of
the
Hurons
.
The
Mohican
and
his
friends
advanced
to
the
brow
of
the
hill
,
and
listened
,
with
practised
ears
,
to
the
sounds
of
the
combat
.
A
few
birds
hovered
over
the
leafy
bosom
of
the
valley
,
frightened
from
their
secluded
nests
;
and
here
and
there
a
light
vapory
cloud
,
which
seemed
already
blending
with
the
atmosphere
,
arose
above
the
trees
,
and
indicated
some
spot
where
the
struggle
had
been
fierce
and
stationary
.
"
The
fight
is
coming
up
the
ascent
,
"
said
Duncan
,
pointing
in
the
direction
of
a
new
explosion
of
fire-arms
;
"
we
are
too
much
in
the
centre
of
their
line
to
be
effective
.
"
"
They
will
incline
into
the
hollow
,
where
the
cover
is
thicker
,
"
said
the
scout
,
"
and
that
will
leave
us
well
on
their
flank
.
Go
,
Sagamore
;
you
will
hardly
be
in
time
to
give
the
whoop
,
and
lead
on
the
young
men
.
I
will
fight
this
scrimmage
with
warriors
of
my
own
color
.
You
know
me
,
Mohican
;
not
a
Huron
of
them
all
shall
cross
the
swell
,
into
your
rear
,
without
the
notice
of
'
Killdeer
.
'
"
The
Indian
chief
paused
another
moment
to
consider
the
signs
of
the
contest
,
which
was
now
rolling
rapidly
up
the
ascent
,
a
certain
evidence
that
the
Delawares
triumphed
;
nor
did
he
actually
quit
the
place
until
admonished
of
the
proximity
of
his
friends
,
as
well
as
enemies
,
by
the
bullets
of
the
former
,
which
began
to
patter
among
the
dried
leaves
on
the
ground
,
like
the
bits
of
falling
hail
which
precede
the
bursting
of
the
tempest
.
Hawkeye
and
his
three
companions
withdrew
a
few
paces
to
a
shelter
,
and
awaited
the
issue
with
calmness
,
that
nothing
but
great
practice
could
impart
in
such
a
scene
.
