The
Huron
sprang
like
a
tiger
on
his
offending
and
already
retreating
countryman
,
but
the
falling
form
of
Uncas
separated
the
unnatural
combatants
.
Diverted
from
his
object
by
this
interruption
,
and
maddened
by
the
murder
he
had
just
witnessed
,
Magua
buried
his
weapon
in
the
back
of
the
prostrate
Delaware
,
uttering
an
unearthly
shout
as
he
committed
the
dastardly
deed
.
But
Uncas
arose
from
the
blow
,
as
the
wounded
panther
turns
upon
his
foe
,
and
struck
the
murderer
of
Cora
to
his
feet
,
by
an
effort
in
which
the
last
of
his
failing
strength
was
expended
.
Then
,
with
a
stern
and
steady
look
,
he
turned
to
Le
Subtil
,
and
indicated
by
the
expression
of
his
eye
,
all
that
he
would
do
,
had
not
the
power
deserted
him
.
The
latter
seized
the
nerveless
arm
of
the
unresisting
Delaware
,
and
passed
his
knife
into
his
bosom
three
several
times
,
before
his
victim
,
still
keeping
his
gaze
riveted
on
his
enemy
with
a
look
of
inextinguishable
scorn
,
fell
dead
at
his
feet
.
"
Mercy
!
mercy
!
Huron
,
"
cried
Heyward
,
from
above
,
in
tones
nearly
choked
by
horror
;
"
give
mercy
,
and
thou
shalt
receive
it
!
"
Whirling
the
bloody
knife
up
at
the
imploring
youth
,
the
victorious
Magua
uttered
a
cry
so
fierce
,
so
wild
,
and
yet
so
joyous
,
that
it
conveyed
the
sounds
of
savage
triumph
to
the
ears
of
those
who
fought
in
the
valley
,
a
thousand
feet
below
.
He
was
answered
by
a
burst
from
the
lips
of
the
scout
,
whose
tall
person
was
just
then
seen
moving
swiftly
towards
him
,
along
those
dangerous
crags
,
with
steps
as
bold
and
reckless
as
if
he
possessed
the
power
to
move
in
air
.
But
when
the
hunter
reached
the
scene
of
the
ruthless
massacre
,
the
ledge
was
tenanted
only
by
the
dead
.
His
keen
eye
took
a
single
look
at
the
victims
,
and
then
shot
its
glances
over
the
difficulties
of
the
ascent
in
his
front
.
A
form
stood
at
the
brow
of
the
mountain
,
on
the
very
edge
of
the
giddy
height
,
with
uplifted
arms
,
in
an
awful
attitude
of
menace
.
Without
stopping
to
consider
his
person
,
the
rifle
of
Hawkeye
was
raised
;
but
a
rock
,
which
fell
on
the
head
of
one
of
the
fugitives
below
exposed
the
indignant
and
glowing
countenance
of
the
honest
Gamut
.
Then
Magua
issued
from
a
crevice
,
and
stepping
with
calm
indifference
over
the
body
of
the
last
of
his
associates
,
he
leaped
a
wide
fissure
,
and
ascended
the
rocks
at
a
point
where
the
arm
of
David
could
not
reach
him
.
A
single
bound
would
carry
him
to
the
brow
of
the
precipice
,
and
assure
his
safety
Before
taking
the
leap
,
however
,
the
Huron
paused
,
and
shaking
his
hand
at
the
scout
,
he
shouted
--
"
The
pale-faces
are
dogs
!
the
Delawares
women
!
Magua
leaves
them
on
the
rocks
,
for
the
crows
!
"
Laughing
hoarsely
,
he
made
a
desperate
leap
,
and
fell
short
of
his
mark
;
though
his
hand
grasped
a
shrub
on
the
verge
of
the
height
.
The
form
of
Hawkeye
had
crouched
like
a
beast
about
to
take
its
spring
,
and
his
frame
trembled
so
violently
with
eagerness
,
that
the
muzzle
of
the
half-raised
rifle
played
like
a
leaf
fluttering
in
the
wind
.
Without
exhausting
himself
with
fruitless
efforts
,
the
cunning
Magua
suffered
his
body
to
drop
to
the
length
of
his
arms
,
and
found
a
fragment
for
his
feet
to
rest
on
.
Then
summoning
all
his
powers
,
he
renewed
the
attempt
,
and
so
far
succeeded
,
as
to
draw
his
knees
on
the
edge
of
the
mountain
.
It
was
now
,
when
the
body
of
his
enemy
was
most
collected
together
,
that
the
agitated
weapon
of
the
scout
was
drawn
to
his
shoulder
.
The
surrounding
rocks
themselves
were
not
steadier
than
the
piece
became
,
for
the
single
instant
that
it
poured
out
its
contents
.
The
arms
of
the
Huron
relaxed
,
and
his
body
fell
back
a
little
,
while
his
knees
still
kept
their
position
.
Turning
a
relentless
look
on
his
enemy
,
he
shook
a
hand
in
grim
defiance
.
But
his
hold
loosened
,
and
his
dark
person
was
seen
cutting
the
air
with
its
head
downwards
,
for
a
fleeting
instant
,
until
it
glided
past
the
fringe
of
shrubbery
which
clung
to
the
mountain
,
in
its
rapid
flight
to
destruction
.
"
They
fought
,
like
brave
men
,
long
and
well
,
They
piled
that
ground
with
Moslem
slain
,
They
conquered
--
but
Bozzaris
fell
,
