Forty
days
and
forty
nights
did
the
imps
crave
our
blood
around
this
pile
of
logs
,
which
I
designed
and
partly
reared
,
being
,
as
you
'll
remember
,
no
Indian
myself
,
but
a
man
without
a
cross
.
The
Delawares
lent
themselves
to
the
work
,
and
we
made
it
good
,
ten
to
twenty
,
until
our
numbers
were
nearly
equal
,
and
then
we
sallied
out
upon
the
hounds
,
and
not
a
man
of
them
ever
got
back
to
tell
the
fate
of
his
party
.
Yes
,
yes
;
I
was
then
young
,
and
new
to
the
sight
of
blood
;
and
not
relishing
the
thought
that
creatures
who
had
spirits
like
myself
should
lay
on
the
naked
ground
,
to
be
torn
asunder
by
beasts
,
or
to
bleach
in
the
rains
,
I
buried
the
dead
with
my
own
hands
,
under
that
very
little
hillock
where
you
have
placed
yourselves
;
and
no
bad
seat
does
it
make
neither
,
though
it
be
raised
by
the
bones
of
mortal
men
.
"
Heyward
and
the
sisters
arose
,
on
the
instant
,
from
the
grassy
sepulchre
;
nor
could
the
two
latter
,
notwithstanding
the
terrific
scenes
they
had
so
recently
passed
through
,
entirely
suppress
an
emotion
of
natural
horror
,
when
they
found
themselves
in
such
familiar
contact
with
the
grave
of
the
dead
Mohawks
.
The
gray
light
,
the
gloomy
little
area
of
dark
grass
,
surrounded
by
its
border
of
brush
,
beyond
which
the
pines
rose
,
in
breathing
silence
,
apparently
,
into
the
very
clouds
,
and
the
death-like
stillness
of
the
vast
forest
,
were
all
in
unison
to
deepen
such
a
sensation
.
"
They
are
gone
,
and
they
are
harmless
,
"
continued
Hawkeye
,
waving
his
hand
,
with
a
melancholy
smile
,
at
their
manifest
alarm
:
"
they
'll
never
shout
the
war-whoop
nor
strike
a
blow
with
the
tomahawk
again
!
And
of
all
those
who
aided
in
placing
them
where
they
lie
,
Chingachgook
and
I
only
are
living
!
The
brothers
and
family
of
the
Mohican
formed
our
war-party
;
and
you
see
before
you
all
that
are
now
left
of
his
race
.
"
The
eyes
of
the
listeners
involuntarily
sought
the
forms
of
the
Indians
,
with
a
compassionate
interest
in
their
desolate
fortune
.
The
dark
persons
were
still
to
be
seen
within
the
shadows
of
the
block-house
,
the
son
listening
to
the
relation
of
his
father
with
that
sort
of
intenseness
which
would
be
created
by
a
narrative
that
redounded
so
much
to
the
honor
of
those
whose
names
he
had
long
revered
for
their
courage
and
savage
virtues
.
"
I
had
thought
the
Delawares
a
pacific
people
,
"
said
Duncan
,
"
and
that
they
never
waged
war
in
person
;
trusting
the
defence
of
their
lands
to
those
very
Mohawks
that
you
slew
!
"
"
'
Tis
true
in
part
,
"
returned
the
scout
,
"
and
yet
,
at
the
bottom
,
'
tis
a
wicked
lie
.
Such
a
treaty
was
made
in
ages
gone
by
,
through
the
deviltries
of
the
Dutchers
,
who
wished
to
disarm
the
natives
that
had
the
best
right
to
the
country
where
they
had
settled
themselves
.
The
Mohicans
,
though
a
part
of
the
same
nation
,
having
to
deal
with
the
English
,
never
entered
into
the
silly
bargain
,
but
kept
to
their
manhood
;
as
in
truth
did
the
Delawares
,
when
their
eyes
were
opened
to
their
folly
.
You
see
before
you
a
chief
of
the
great
Mohican
Sagamores
!
Once
his
family
could
chase
their
deer
over
tracts
of
country
wider
than
that
which
belongs
to
the
Albany
Patteroon
,
without
crossing
brook
or
hill
that
was
not
their
own
;
but
what
is
left
to
their
descendant
!
He
may
find
his
six
feet
of
earth
when
God
chooses
,
and
keep
it
in
peace
,
perhaps
,
if
he
has
a
friend
who
will
take
the
pains
to
sink
his
head
so
low
that
the
ploughshares
can
not
reach
it
!
"
"
Enough
!
"
said
Heyward
,
apprehensive
that
the
subject
might
lead
to
a
discussion
that
would
interrupt
the
harmony
so
necessary
to
the
preservation
of
his
fair
companions
:
"
we
have
journeyed
far
,
and
few
among
us
are
blessed
with
forms
like
that
of
yours
,
which
seems
to
know
neither
fatigue
nor
weakness
.
"
"
The
sinews
and
bones
of
a
man
carry
me
through
it
all
,
"
said
the
hunter
,
surveying
his
muscular
limbs
with
a
simplicity
that
betrayed
the
honest
pleasure
the
compliment
afforded
him
:
"
there
are
larger
and
heavier
men
to
be
found
in
the
settlements
,
but
you
might
travel
many
days
in
a
city
before
you
could
meet
one
able
to
walk
fifty
miles
without
stopping
to
take
breath
,
or
who
has
kept
the
hounds
within
hearing
during
a
chase
of
hours
.
However
,
as
flesh
and
blood
are
not
always
the
same
,
it
is
quite
reasonable
to
suppose
that
the
gentle
ones
are
willing
to
rest
,
after
all
they
have
seen
and
done
this
day
.
Uncas
,
clear
out
the
spring
,
while
your
father
and
I
make
a
cover
for
their
tender
heads
of
these
chestnut
shoots
,
and
a
bed
of
grass
and
leaves
.
"
The
dialogue
ceased
,
while
the
hunter
and
his
companions
busied
themselves
in
preparations
for
the
comfort
and
protection
of
those
they
guided
.
A
spring
,
which
many
long
years
before
had
induced
the
natives
to
select
the
place
for
their
temporary
fortification
,
was
soon
cleared
of
leaves
,
and
a
fountain
of
crystal
gushed
from
the
bed
,
diffusing
its
waters
over
the
verdant
hillock
.
A
corner
of
the
building
was
then
roofed
in
such
a
manner
as
to
exclude
the
heavy
dew
of
the
climate
,
and
piles
of
sweet
shrubs
and
dried
leaves
were
laid
beneath
it
for
the
sisters
to
repose
on
.
