Three
battles
did
we
make
with
the
Dutch-Frenchman
in
a
day
,
"
continued
Hawkeye
,
pursuing
the
train
of
his
own
thoughts
,
rather
than
replying
to
the
remark
of
Duncan
.
"
He
met
us
hard
by
,
in
our
outward
march
to
ambush
his
advance
,
and
scattered
us
,
like
driven
deer
,
through
the
defile
,
to
the
shores
of
Horican
.
Then
we
rallied
behind
our
fallen
trees
,
and
made
head
against
him
,
under
Sir
William
--
who
was
made
Sir
William
for
that
very
deed
;
and
well
did
we
pay
him
for
the
disgrace
of
the
morning
!
Hundreds
of
Frenchmen
saw
the
sun
that
day
for
the
last
time
;
and
even
the
leader
,
Dieskau
himself
,
fell
into
our
hands
so
cut
and
torn
with
the
lead
,
that
he
has
gone
back
to
his
own
country
,
unfit
for
further
acts
in
war
.
"
"
'
Twas
a
noble
repulse
!
"
exclaimed
Heyward
,
in
the
heat
of
his
youthful
ardor
;
"
the
fame
of
it
reached
us
early
,
in
our
southern
army
.
"
"
Ay
!
but
it
did
not
end
there
.
I
was
sent
by
Major
Effingham
,
at
Sir
William
's
own
bidding
,
to
outflank
the
French
,
and
carry
the
tidings
of
their
disaster
across
the
portage
,
to
the
fort
on
the
Hudson
.
Just
hereaway
,
where
you
see
the
trees
rise
into
a
mountain
swell
,
I
met
a
party
coming
down
to
our
aid
,
and
I
led
them
where
the
enemy
were
taking
their
meal
,
little
dreaming
that
they
had
not
finished
the
bloody
work
of
the
day
.
"
"
And
you
surprised
them
?
"
"
If
death
can
be
a
surprise
to
men
who
are
thinking
only
of
the
cravings
of
their
appetites
.
We
gave
them
but
little
breathing
time
,
for
they
had
borne
hard
upon
us
in
the
fight
of
the
morning
,
and
there
were
few
in
our
party
who
had
not
lost
friend
or
relative
by
their
hands
.
When
all
was
over
,
the
dead
,
and
some
say
the
dying
,
were
cast
into
that
little
pond
.
These
eyes
have
seen
its
waters
colored
with
blood
,
as
natural
water
never
yet
flowed
from
the
bowels
of
the
'
arth
.
"
"
It
was
a
convenient
,
and
,
I
trust
,
will
prove
a
peaceful
grave
for
a
soldier
.
You
have
,
then
,
seen
much
service
on
this
frontier
?
"
"
I
!
"
said
the
scout
,
erecting
his
tall
person
with
an
air
of
military
pride
;
"
there
are
not
many
echoes
among
these
hills
that
have
n't
rung
with
the
crack
of
my
rifle
,
nor
is
there
the
space
of
a
square
mile
atwixt
Horican
and
the
river
,
that
'
Killdeer
'
has
n't
dropped
a
living
body
on
,
be
it
an
enemy
or
be
it
a
brute
beast
.
As
for
the
grave
,
there
,
being
as
quiet
as
you
mention
,
it
is
another
matter
.
There
are
them
in
the
camp
who
say
and
think
,
man
,
to
lie
still
,
should
not
be
buried
while
the
breath
is
in
the
body
;
and
certain
it
is
that
in
the
hurry
of
that
evening
,
the
doctors
had
but
little
time
to
say
who
was
living
and
who
was
dead
.
Hist
!
see
you
nothing
walking
on
the
shore
of
the
pond
?
"
"
'
Tis
not
probable
that
any
are
as
houseless
as
ourselves
,
in
this
dreary
forest
.
