Ay
,
"
returned
the
composed
scout
,
"
the
Indians
have
hid
the
beasts
with
the
judgment
of
natives
!
Water
leaves
no
trail
,
and
an
owl
's
eyes
would
be
blinded
by
the
darkness
of
such
a
hole
.
"
The
whole
party
was
soon
reunited
,
and
another
consultation
was
held
between
the
scout
and
his
new
comrades
,
during
which
,
they
whose
fates
depended
on
the
faith
and
ingenuity
of
these
unknown
foresters
,
had
a
little
leisure
to
observe
their
situation
more
minutely
.
The
river
was
confined
between
high
and
cragged
rocks
,
one
of
which
impended
above
the
spot
where
the
canoe
rested
.
As
these
,
again
,
were
surmounted
by
tall
trees
,
which
appeared
to
totter
on
the
brows
of
the
precipice
,
it
gave
the
stream
the
appearance
of
running
through
a
deep
and
narrow
dell
.
All
beneath
the
fantastic
limbs
and
ragged
tree-tops
,
which
were
,
here
and
there
,
dimly
painted
against
the
starry
zenith
,
lay
alike
in
shadowed
obscurity
.
Behind
them
,
the
curvature
of
the
banks
soon
bounded
the
view
,
by
the
same
dark
and
wooded
outline
;
but
in
front
,
and
apparently
at
no
great
distance
,
the
water
seemed
piled
against
the
heavens
,
whence
it
tumbled
into
caverns
,
out
of
which
issued
those
sullen
sounds
that
had
loaded
the
evening
atmosphere
.
It
seemed
,
in
truth
,
to
be
a
spot
devoted
to
seclusion
,
and
the
sisters
imbibed
a
soothing
impression
of
security
,
as
they
gazed
upon
its
romantic
,
though
not
unappalling
beauties
.
A
general
movement
among
their
conductors
,
however
,
soon
recalled
them
from
a
contemplation
of
the
wild
charms
that
night
had
assisted
to
lend
the
place
,
to
a
painful
sense
of
their
real
peril
.
The
horses
had
been
secured
to
some
scattered
shrubs
that
grew
in
the
fissures
of
the
rocks
,
where
,
standing
in
the
water
,
they
were
left
to
pass
the
night
.
The
scout
directed
Heyward
and
his
disconsolate
fellow-travellers
to
seat
themselves
in
the
forward
end
of
the
canoe
,
and
took
possession
of
the
other
himself
,
as
erect
and
steady
as
if
he
floated
in
a
vessel
of
much
firmer
materials
.
The
Indians
warily
retraced
their
steps
towards
the
place
they
had
left
,
when
the
scout
,
placing
his
pole
against
a
rock
,
by
a
powerful
shove
,
sent
his
frail
bark
directly
into
the
centre
of
the
turbulent
stream
.
For
many
minutes
the
struggle
between
the
light
bubble
in
which
they
floated
,
and
the
swift
current
,
was
severe
and
doubtful
.
Forbidden
to
stir
even
a
hand
,
and
almost
afraid
to
breathe
,
lest
they
should
expose
the
frail
fabric
to
the
fury
of
the
stream
,
the
passengers
watched
the
glancing
waters
in
feverish
suspense
.
Twenty
times
they
thought
the
whirling
eddies
were
sweeping
them
to
destruction
,
when
the
master-hand
of
their
pilot
would
bring
the
bows
of
the
canoe
to
stem
the
rapid
.
A
long
,
a
vigorous
,
and
,
as
it
appeared
to
the
females
,
a
desperate
effort
,
closed
the
struggle
.
Just
as
Alice
veiled
her
eyes
in
horror
,
under
the
impression
that
they
were
about
to
be
swept
within
the
vortex
at
the
foot
of
the
cataract
,
the
canoe
floated
,
stationary
,
at
the
side
of
a
flat
rock
,
that
lay
on
a
level
with
the
water
.
"
Where
are
we
?
and
what
is
next
to
be
done
?
"
demanded
Heyward
,
perceiving
that
the
exertions
of
the
scout
had
ceased
.
"
You
are
at
the
foot
of
Glenn
's
,
"
returned
the
other
,
speaking
aloud
,
without
fear
of
consequences
,
within
the
roar
of
the
cataract
;
"
and
the
next
thing
is
to
make
a
steady
landing
,
lest
the
canoe
upset
,
and
you
should
go
down
again
the
hard
road
we
have
travelled
,
faster
than
you
came
up
;
'
tis
a
hard
rift
to
stem
,
when
the
river
is
a
little
swelled
;
and
five
is
an
unnatural
number
to
keep
dry
,
in
the
hurry-skurry
,
with
a
little
birchen
bark
and
gum
.
There
,
go
you
all
on
the
rock
,
and
I
will
bring
up
the
Mohicans
with
the
venison
.
A
man
had
better
sleep
without
his
scalp
,
than
famish
in
the
midst
of
plenty
.
"
His
passengers
gladly
complied
with
these
directions
.
As
the
last
foot
touched
the
rock
,
the
canoe
whirled
from
its
station
,
when
the
tall
form
of
the
scout
was
seen
,
for
an
instant
,
gliding
above
the
waters
,
before
it
disappeared
in
the
impenetrable
darkness
that
rested
on
the
bed
of
the
river
.
Left
by
their
guide
,
the
travellers
remained
a
few
minutes
in
helpless
ignorance
,
afraid
even
to
move
along
the
broken
rocks
,
lest
a
false
step
should
precipitate
them
down
some
one
of
the
many
deep
and
roaring
caverns
,
into
which
the
water
seemed
to
tumble
,
on
every
side
of
them
.
Their
suspense
,
however
,
was
soon
relieved
;
for
aided
by
the
skill
of
the
natives
,
the
canoe
shot
back
into
the
eddy
,
and
floated
again
at
the
side
of
the
low
rock
before
they
thought
the
scout
had
even
time
to
rejoin
his
companions
.
