The
pursuers
dashed
into
the
long
and
narrow
entrance
,
in
time
to
catch
a
glimpse
of
the
retreating
forms
of
the
Hurons
.
Their
passage
through
the
natural
galleries
and
subterraneous
apartments
of
the
cavern
was
preceded
by
the
shrieks
and
cries
of
hundreds
of
women
and
children
.
The
place
,
seen
by
its
dim
and
uncertain
light
,
appeared
like
the
shades
of
the
infernal
regions
,
across
which
unhappy
ghosts
and
savage
demons
were
flitting
in
multitudes
.
Still
Uncas
kept
his
eye
on
Magua
,
as
if
life
to
him
possessed
but
a
single
object
.
Heyward
and
the
scout
still
pressed
on
his
rear
,
actuated
,
though
possibly
in
a
less
degree
,
by
a
common
feeling
.
But
their
way
was
becoming
intricate
,
in
those
dark
and
gloomy
passages
,
and
the
glimpses
of
the
retiring
warriors
less
distinct
and
frequent
;
and
for
a
moment
the
trace
was
believed
to
be
lost
,
when
a
white
robe
was
seen
fluttering
in
the
farther
extremity
of
a
passage
that
seemed
to
lead
up
the
mountain
.
"
'
Tis
Cora
!
"
exclaimed
Heyward
,
in
a
voice
in
which
horror
and
delight
were
wildly
mingled
.
"
Cora
!
Cora
!
"
echoed
Uncas
,
bending
forward
like
a
deer
.
"
'
Tis
the
maiden
!
"
shouted
the
scout
,
"
Courage
,
lady
;
we
come
!
--
we
come
!
"
The
chase
was
renewed
with
a
diligence
rendered
tenfold
encouraging
by
this
glimpse
of
the
captive
.
But
the
way
was
rugged
,
broken
,
and
in
spots
nearly
impassable
.
Uncas
abandoned
his
rifle
,
and
leaped
forward
with
headlong
precipitation
.
Heyward
rashly
imitated
his
example
,
though
both
were
,
a
moment
afterwards
,
admonished
of
its
madness
,
by
hearing
the
bellowing
of
a
piece
,
that
the
Hurons
found
time
to
discharge
down
the
passage
in
the
rocks
,
the
bullet
from
which
even
gave
the
young
Mohican
a
slight
wound
.
"
We
must
close
!
"
said
the
scout
,
passing
his
friends
by
a
desperate
leap
;
"
the
knaves
will
pick
us
all
off
at
this
distance
;
and
see
,
they
hold
the
maiden
so
as
to
shield
themselves
!
"
Though
his
words
were
unheeded
,
or
rather
unheard
,
his
example
was
followed
by
his
companions
,
who
,
by
incredible
exertions
,
got
near
enough
to
the
fugitives
to
perceive
that
Cora
was
borne
along
between
the
two
warriors
,
while
Magua
prescribed
the
direction
and
manner
of
their
flight
.
At
this
moment
the
forms
of
all
four
were
strongly
drawn
against
an
opening
in
the
sky
,
and
they
disappeared
.
Nearly
frantic
with
disappointment
,
Uncas
and
Heyward
increased
efforts
that
already
seemed
super-human
,
and
they
issued
from
the
cavern
on
the
side
of
the
mountain
,
in
time
to
note
the
route
of
the
pursued
.
The
course
lay
up
the
ascent
,
and
still
continued
hazardous
and
laborious
.
Encumbered
by
his
rifle
,
and
,
perhaps
,
not
sustained
by
so
deep
an
interest
in
the
captive
as
his
companions
,
the
scout
suffered
the
latter
to
precede
him
a
little
,
Uncas
,
in
his
turn
,
taking
the
lead
of
Heyward
.
In
this
manner
,
rocks
,
precipices
,
and
difficulties
were
surmounted
in
an
incredibly
short
space
,
that
at
another
time
,
and
under
other
circumstances
,
would
have
been
deemed
almost
insuperable
.
