"
God
forbid
!
"
exclaimed
Heyward
.
"
Surely
we
have
had
enough
of
bloodshed
!
"
While
he
spoke
,
however
,
the
young
soldier
seized
his
rifle
,
and
advancing
towards
the
front
,
prepared
to
atone
for
his
venial
remissness
,
by
freely
exposing
his
life
in
defence
of
those
he
attended
.
"
'
Tis
some
creature
of
the
forest
prowling
around
us
in
quest
of
food
,
"
he
said
,
in
a
whisper
,
as
soon
as
the
low
,
and
apparently
distant
sounds
,
which
had
startled
the
Mohicans
,
reached
his
own
ears
.
"
Hist
!
"
returned
the
attentive
scout
;
"
'
tis
man
;
even
I
can
now
tell
his
tread
,
poor
as
my
senses
are
when
compared
to
an
Indian
's
!
That
scampering
Huron
has
fallen
in
with
one
of
Montcalm
's
outlying
parties
,
and
they
have
struck
upon
our
trail
.
I
should
n't
like
,
myself
,
to
spill
more
human
blood
in
this
spot
,
"
he
added
,
looking
around
with
anxiety
in
his
features
,
at
the
dim
objects
by
which
he
was
surrounded
;
"
but
what
must
be
,
must
!
Lead
the
horses
into
the
block-house
,
Uncas
;
and
,
friends
,
do
you
follow
to
the
same
shelter
.
Poor
and
old
as
it
is
,
it
offers
a
cover
,
and
has
rung
with
the
crack
of
a
rifle
afore
to-night
!
"
He
was
instantly
obeyed
,
the
Mohicans
leading
the
Narragansetts
within
the
ruin
,
whither
the
whole
party
repaired
with
the
most
guarded
silence
.
The
sounds
of
approaching
footsteps
were
now
too
distinctly
audible
to
leave
any
doubts
as
to
the
nature
of
the
interruption
.
They
were
soon
mingled
with
voices
calling
to
each
other
in
an
Indian
dialect
,
which
the
hunter
,
in
a
whisper
,
affirmed
to
Heyward
was
the
language
of
the
Hurons
.
When
the
party
reached
the
point
where
the
horses
had
entered
the
thicket
which
surrounded
the
block-house
,
they
were
evidently
at
fault
,
having
lost
those
marks
which
,
until
that
moment
,
had
directed
their
pursuit
.
It
would
seem
by
the
voices
that
twenty
men
were
soon
collected
at
that
one
spot
,
mingling
their
different
opinions
and
advice
in
noisy
clamor
.
"
The
knaves
know
our
weakness
,
"
whispered
Hawkeye
,
who
stood
by
the
side
of
Heyward
,
in
deep
shade
,
looking
through
an
opening
in
the
logs
,
"
or
they
would
n't
indulge
their
idleness
in
such
a
squaw
's
march
.
Listen
to
the
reptiles
!
each
man
among
them
seems
to
have
two
tongues
,
and
but
a
single
leg
.
"
Duncan
,
brave
as
he
was
in
the
combat
,
could
not
,
in
such
a
moment
of
painful
suspense
,
make
any
reply
to
the
cool
and
characteristic
remark
of
the
scout
.
He
only
grasped
his
rifle
more
firmly
,
and
fastened
his
eyes
upon
the
narrow
opening
,
through
which
he
gazed
upon
the
moonlight
view
with
increasing
anxiety
.
The
deeper
tones
of
one
who
spoke
as
having
authority
were
next
heard
,
amid
a
silence
that
denoted
the
respect
with
which
his
orders
,
or
rather
advice
,
was
received
.
After
which
,
by
the
rustling
of
leaves
,
and
cracking
of
dried
twigs
,
it
was
apparent
the
savages
were
separating
in
pursuit
of
the
lost
trail
.
Fortunately
for
the
pursued
,
the
light
of
the
moon
,
while
it
shed
a
flood
of
mild
lustre
upon
the
little
area
around
the
ruin
,
was
not
sufficiently
strong
to
penetrate
the
deep
arches
of
the
forest
,
where
the
objects
still
lay
in
deceptive
shadow
.
The
search
proved
fruitless
;
for
so
short
and
sudden
had
been
the
passage
from
the
faint
path
the
travellers
had
journeyed
into
the
thicket
,
that
every
trace
of
their
footsteps
was
lost
in
the
obscurity
of
the
woods
.
It
was
not
long
,
however
,
before
the
restless
savages
were
heard
beating
the
brush
,
and
gradually
approaching
the
inner
edge
of
that
dense
border
of
young
chestnuts
which
encircled
the
little
area
.
