The
scout
shook
his
head
,
and
muttering
some
unintelligible
words
,
among
which
"
throat
"
and
"
Iroquois
,
"
were
alone
audible
,
he
walked
away
,
to
collect
,
and
to
examine
into
,
the
state
of
the
captured
arsenal
of
the
Hurons
.
In
this
office
he
was
now
joined
by
Chingachgook
,
who
found
his
own
,
as
well
as
the
rifle
of
his
son
,
among
the
arms
.
Even
Heyward
and
David
were
furnished
with
weapons
;
nor
was
ammunition
wanting
to
render
them
all
effectual
.
When
the
foresters
had
made
their
selection
,
and
distributed
their
prizes
,
the
scout
announced
that
the
hour
had
arrived
when
it
was
necessary
to
move
.
By
this
time
the
song
of
Gamut
had
ceased
,
and
the
sisters
had
learned
to
still
the
exhibition
of
their
emotions
.
Aided
by
Duncan
and
the
younger
Mohican
,
the
two
latter
descended
the
precipitous
sides
of
that
hill
which
they
had
so
lately
ascended
under
so
very
different
auspices
,
and
whose
summit
had
so
nearly
proved
the
scene
of
their
massacre
.
At
the
foot
,
they
found
the
Narragansetts
browsing
the
herbage
of
the
bushes
;
and
having
mounted
,
they
followed
the
movements
of
a
guide
,
who
,
in
the
most
deadly
straits
,
had
so
often
proved
himself
their
friend
.
The
journey
was
,
however
,
short
.
Hawkeye
,
leaving
the
blind
path
that
the
Hurons
had
followed
,
turned
short
to
his
right
,
and
entering
the
thicket
,
he
crossed
a
babbling
brook
,
and
halted
in
a
narrow
dell
,
under
the
shade
of
a
few
water
elms
.
Their
distance
from
the
base
of
the
fatal
hill
was
but
a
few
rods
,
and
the
steeds
had
been
serviceable
only
in
crossing
the
shallow
stream
.
The
scout
and
the
Indians
appeared
to
be
familiar
with
the
sequestered
place
where
they
now
were
;
for
,
leaning
their
rifles
against
the
trees
,
they
commenced
throwing
aside
the
dried
leaves
,
and
opening
the
blue
clay
,
out
of
which
a
clear
and
sparkling
spring
of
bright
,
glancing
water
,
quickly
bubbled
.
The
white
man
then
looked
about
him
,
as
though
seeking
for
some
object
,
which
was
not
to
be
found
as
readily
as
he
expected
:
--
"
Them
careless
imps
,
the
Mohawks
,
with
their
Tuscarora
and
Onondaga
brethren
,
have
been
here
slaking
their
thirst
,
"
he
muttered
,
"
and
the
vagabonds
have
thrown
away
the
gourd
!
This
is
the
way
with
benefits
,
when
they
are
bestowed
on
such
disremembering
hounds
!
Here
has
the
Lord
laid
his
hand
,
in
the
midst
of
the
howling
wilderness
,
for
their
good
,
and
raised
a
fountain
of
water
from
the
bowels
of
the
'
arth
,
that
might
laugh
at
the
richest
shop
of
apothecary
's
ware
in
all
the
colonies
;
and
see
!
the
knaves
have
trodden
in
the
clay
,
and
deformed
the
cleanliness
of
the
place
,
as
though
they
were
brute
beasts
,
instead
of
human
men
.
"
Uncas
silently
extended
towards
him
the
desired
gourd
,
which
the
spleen
of
Hawkeye
had
hitherto
prevented
him
from
observing
,
on
a
branch
of
an
elm
.
Filling
it
with
water
,
he
retired
a
short
distance
,
to
a
place
where
the
ground
was
more
firm
and
dry
;
here
he
coolly
seated
himself
,
and
after
taking
a
long
,
and
,
apparently
,
a
grateful
draught
,
he
commenced
a
very
strict
examination
of
the
fragments
of
food
left
by
the
Hurons
,
which
had
hung
in
a
wallet
on
his
arm
.
"
Thank
you
,
lad
!
"
he
continued
,
returning
the
empty
gourd
to
Uncas
;
"
now
we
will
see
how
these
rampaging
Hurons
lived
,
when
outlying
in
ambushments
.
Look
at
this
!
The
varlets
know
the
better
pieces
of
the
deer
;
and
one
would
think
they
might
carve
and
roast
a
saddle
,
equal
to
the
best
cook
in
the
land
!
But
everything
is
raw
,
for
the
Iroquois
are
thorough
savages
.
Uncas
,
take
my
steel
,
and
kindle
a
fire
;
a
mouthful
of
a
tender
broil
will
give
natur
'
a
helping
hand
,
after
so
long
a
trail
.
"
Heyward
,
perceiving
that
their
guides
now
set
about
their
repast
in
sober
earnest
,
assisted
the
ladies
to
alight
,
and
placed
himself
at
their
side
,
not
unwilling
to
enjoy
a
few
moments
of
grateful
rest
,
after
the
bloody
scene
he
had
just
gone
through
.
While
the
culinary
process
was
in
hand
,
curiosity
induced
him
to
inquire
into
the
circumstances
which
had
led
to
their
timely
and
unexpected
rescue
:
--
"
How
is
it
that
we
see
you
so
soon
,
my
generous
friend
,
"
he
asked
,
"
and
without
aid
from
the
garrison
of
Edward
?
"
"
Had
we
gone
to
the
bend
in
the
river
,
we
might
have
been
in
time
to
rake
the
leaves
over
your
bodies
,
but
too
late
to
have
saved
your
scalps
,
"
coolly
answered
the
scout
.
"
No
,
no
;
instead
of
throwing
away
strength
and
opportunity
by
crossing
to
the
fort
,
we
lay
by
,
under
the
bank
of
the
Hudson
,
waiting
to
watch
the
movements
of
the
Hurons
.
"
"
You
were
,
then
,
witnesses
of
all
that
passed
?
"
