These
devils
will
scale
heaven
to
circumvent
us
to
our
ruin
,
"
said
Hawkeye
;
"
keep
him
in
play
,
boy
,
until
I
can
bring
'
Killdeer
'
to
bear
,
when
we
will
try
his
metal
on
each
side
of
the
tree
at
once
.
"
Uncas
delayed
his
fire
until
the
scout
uttered
the
word
.
The
rifles
flashed
,
the
leaves
and
the
bark
of
the
oak
flew
into
the
air
,
and
were
scattered
by
the
wind
,
but
the
Indian
answered
their
assault
by
a
taunting
laugh
,
sending
down
upon
them
another
bullet
in
return
,
that
struck
the
cap
of
Hawkeye
from
his
head
.
Once
more
the
savage
yells
burst
out
of
the
woods
,
and
the
leaden
hail
whistled
above
the
heads
of
the
besieged
,
as
if
to
confine
them
to
a
place
where
they
might
become
easy
victims
to
the
enterprise
of
the
warrior
who
had
mounted
the
tree
.
"
This
must
be
looked
to
!
"
said
the
scout
,
glancing
about
him
with
an
anxious
eye
.
"
Uncas
,
call
up
your
father
;
we
have
need
of
all
our
we
'
pons
to
bring
the
cunning
varmint
from
his
roost
.
"
The
signal
was
instantly
given
;
and
,
before
Hawkeye
had
reloaded
his
rifle
,
they
were
joined
by
Chingachgook
.
When
his
son
pointed
out
to
the
experienced
warrior
the
situation
of
their
dangerous
enemy
,
the
usual
exclamatory
"
Hugh
!
"
burst
from
his
lips
;
after
which
,
no
further
expression
of
surprise
or
alarm
was
suffered
to
escape
him
.
Hawkeye
and
the
Mohicans
conversed
earnestly
together
in
Delaware
for
a
few
moments
,
when
each
quietly
took
his
post
,
in
order
to
execute
the
plan
they
had
speedily
devised
.
The
warrior
in
the
oak
had
maintained
a
quick
,
though
ineffectual
fire
,
from
the
moment
of
his
discovery
.
But
his
aim
was
interrupted
by
the
vigilance
of
his
enemies
,
whose
rifles
instantaneously
bore
on
any
part
of
his
person
that
was
left
exposed
.
Still
his
bullets
fell
in
the
centre
of
the
crouching
party
.
The
clothes
of
Heyward
,
which
rendered
him
peculiarly
conspicuous
,
were
repeatedly
cut
,
and
once
blood
was
drawn
from
a
slight
wound
in
his
arm
.
At
length
,
emboldened
by
the
long
and
patient
watchfulness
of
his
enemies
,
the
Huron
attempted
a
better
and
more
fatal
aim
.
The
quick
eye
of
the
Mohicans
caught
the
dark
line
of
his
lower
limbs
incautiously
exposed
through
the
thin
foliage
,
a
few
inches
from
the
trunk
of
the
tree
.
Their
rifles
made
a
common
report
,
when
,
sinking
on
his
wounded
limb
,
part
of
the
body
of
the
savage
came
into
view
.
Swift
as
thought
,
Hawkeye
seized
the
advantage
and
discharged
his
fatal
weapon
into
the
top
of
the
oak
.
The
leaves
were
unusually
agitated
;
the
dangerous
rifle
fell
from
its
commanding
elevation
,
and
after
a
few
moments
of
vain
struggling
,
the
form
of
the
savage
was
seen
swinging
in
the
wind
,
while
he
still
grasped
a
ragged
and
naked
branch
of
the
tree
,
with
hands
clenched
in
desperation
.
"
Give
him
,
in
pity
give
him
--
the
contents
of
another
rifle
!
"
cried
Duncan
,
turning
away
his
eyes
in
horror
from
the
spectacle
of
a
fellow-creature
in
such
awful
jeopardy
.
"
Not
a
karnel
!
"
exclaimed
the
obdurate
Hawkeye
;
"
his
death
is
certain
,
and
we
have
no
powder
to
spare
,
for
Indian
fights
sometimes
last
for
days
;
'
tis
their
scalps
or
ours
!
--
and
God
,
who
made
us
,
has
put
into
our
natures
the
craving
to
keep
the
skin
on
the
head
!
"
Against
this
stern
and
unyielding
morality
,
supported
as
it
was
by
such
visible
policy
,
there
was
no
appeal
.
From
that
moment
the
yells
in
the
forest
once
more
ceased
,
the
fire
was
suffered
to
decline
,
and
all
eyes
,
those
of
friends
as
well
as
enemies
,
became
fixed
on
the
hopeless
condition
of
the
wretch
who
was
dangling
between
heaven
and
earth
.
The
body
yielded
to
the
currents
of
air
,
and
though
no
murmur
or
groan
escaped
the
victim
,
there
were
instants
when
he
grimly
faced
his
foes
,
and
the
anguish
of
cold
despair
might
be
traced
,
through
the
intervening
distance
,
in
possession
of
his
swarthy
lineaments
.
Three
several
times
the
scout
raised
his
piece
in
mercy
,
and
as
often
prudence
getting
the
better
of
his
intention
,
it
was
again
silently
lowered
.
At
length
one
hand
of
the
Huron
lost
its
hold
,
and
dropped
exhausted
to
his
side
.
A
desperate
and
fruitless
struggle
to
recover
the
branch
succeeded
,
and
then
the
savage
was
seen
for
a
fleeting
instant
,
grasping
wildly
at
the
empty
air
.
The
lightning
is
not
quicker
than
was
the
flame
from
the
rifle
of
Hawkeye
;
the
limbs
of
the
victim
trembled
and
contracted
,
the
head
fell
to
the
bosom
,
and
the
body
parted
the
foaming
waters
like
lead
,
when
the
element
closed
above
it
,
in
its
ceaseless
velocity
,
and
every
vestige
of
the
unhappy
Huron
was
lost
forever
.
