Pride
and
exultation
were
supplanted
by
humility
,
and
the
fiercest
of
human
passions
was
already
succeeded
by
the
most
profound
and
unequivocal
demonstrations
of
grief
.
The
lodges
were
deserted
;
but
a
broad
belt
of
earnest
faces
encircled
a
spot
in
their
vicinity
,
whither
everything
possessing
life
had
repaired
,
and
where
all
were
now
collected
,
in
deep
and
awful
silence
.
Though
beings
of
every
rank
and
age
,
of
both
sexes
,
and
of
all
pursuits
,
had
united
to
form
this
breathing
wall
of
bodies
,
they
were
influenced
by
a
single
emotion
.
Each
eye
was
riveted
on
the
centre
of
that
ring
,
which
contained
the
objects
of
so
much
,
and
of
so
common
,
an
interest
.
Six
Delaware
girls
,
with
their
long
,
dark
,
flowing
tresses
falling
loosely
across
their
bosoms
,
stood
apart
,
and
only
gave
proofs
of
their
existence
as
they
occasionally
strewed
sweet-scented
herbs
and
forest
flowers
on
a
litter
of
fragrant
plants
,
that
,
under
a
pall
of
Indian
robes
,
supported
all
that
now
remained
of
the
ardent
,
high-souled
,
and
generous
Cora
.
Her
form
was
concealed
in
many
wrappers
of
the
same
simple
manufacture
,
and
her
face
was
shut
forever
from
the
gaze
of
men
.
At
her
feet
was
seated
the
desolate
Munro
.
His
aged
head
was
bowed
nearly
to
the
earth
,
in
compelled
submission
to
the
stroke
of
Providence
;
but
a
hidden
anguish
struggled
about
his
furrowed
brow
,
that
was
only
partially
concealed
by
the
careless
locks
of
gray
that
had
fallen
,
neglected
,
on
his
temples
.
Gamut
stood
at
his
side
,
his
meek
head
bared
to
the
rays
of
the
sun
,
while
his
eyes
,
wandering
and
concerned
,
seemed
to
be
equally
divided
between
that
little
volume
,
which
contained
so
many
quaint
but
holy
maxims
,
and
the
being
in
whose
behalf
his
soul
yearned
to
administer
consolation
.
Heyward
was
also
nigh
,
supporting
himself
against
a
tree
,
and
endeavoring
to
keep
down
those
sudden
risings
of
sorrow
that
it
required
his
utmost
manhood
to
subdue
.
But
sad
and
melancholy
as
this
group
may
easily
be
imagined
,
it
was
far
less
touching
than
another
,
that
occupied
the
opposite
space
of
the
same
area
.
Seated
,
as
in
life
,
with
his
form
and
limbs
arranged
in
grave
and
decent
composure
,
Uncas
appeared
,
arrayed
in
the
most
gorgeous
ornaments
that
the
wealth
of
the
tribe
could
furnish
.
Rich
plumes
nodded
above
his
head
;
wampum
,
gorgets
,
bracelets
,
and
medals
,
adorned
his
person
in
profusion
;
though
his
dull
eye
and
vacant
lineaments
too
strongly
contradicted
the
idle
tale
of
pride
they
would
convey
.
Directly
in
front
of
the
corpse
Chingachgook
was
placed
,
without
arms
,
paint
,
or
adornment
of
any
sort
,
except
the
bright
blue
blazonry
of
his
race
,
that
was
indelibly
impressed
on
his
naked
bosom
.
During
the
long
period
that
the
tribe
had
been
thus
collected
,
the
Mohican
warrior
had
kept
a
steady
,
anxious
look
on
the
cold
and
senseless
countenance
of
his
son
.
So
riveted
and
intense
had
been
that
gaze
,
and
so
changeless
his
attitude
,
that
a
stranger
might
not
have
told
the
living
from
the
dead
,
but
for
the
occasional
gleamings
of
a
troubled
spirit
that
shot
athwart
the
dark
visage
of
one
,
and
the
death-like
calm
that
had
forever
settled
on
the
lineaments
of
the
other
.
The
scout
was
hard
by
,
leaning
in
a
pensive
posture
on
his
own
fatal
and
avenging
weapon
;
while
Tamenund
,
supported
by
the
elders
of
his
nation
,
occupied
a
high
place
at
hand
,
whence
he
might
look
down
on
the
mute
and
sorrowful
assemblage
of
his
people
.
Just
within
the
inner
edge
of
the
circle
stood
a
soldier
,
in
the
military
attire
of
a
strange
nation
;
and
without
it
was
his
war-horse
,
in
the
centre
of
a
collection
of
mounted
domestics
,
seemingly
in
readiness
to
undertake
some
distant
journey
.
The
vestments
of
the
stranger
announced
him
to
be
one
who
held
a
responsible
situation
near
the
person
of
the
captain
of
the
Canadas
;
and
who
,
as
it
would
now
seem
,
finding
his
errand
of
peace
frustrated
by
the
fierce
impetuosity
of
his
allies
,
was
content
to
become
a
silent
and
sad
spectator
of
the
fruits
of
a
contest
that
he
had
arrived
too
late
to
anticipate
.
The
day
was
drawing
to
the
close
of
its
first
quarter
,
and
yet
had
the
multitude
maintained
its
breathing
stillness
since
its
dawn
.
No
sound
louder
than
a
stifled
sob
had
been
heard
among
them
,
nor
had
even
a
limb
been
moved
throughout
that
long
and
painful
period
,
except
to
perform
the
simple
and
touching
offerings
that
were
made
,
from
time
to
time
,
in
commemoration
of
the
dead
.
