T

would

have

been

a

cruel

and

an

unhuman

act

for

a

white-skin

;

but

'

tis

the

gift

and

natur

'

of

an

Indian

,

and

I

suppose

it

should

not

be

denied

.

I

could

wish

,

though

,

it

had

befallen

an

accursed

Mingo

,

rather

than

that

gay

young

boy

from

the

old

countries

.

"

"

Enough

!

"

said

Heyward

,

apprehensive

the

unconscious

sisters

might

comprehend

the

nature

of

the

detention

,

and

conquering

his

disgust

by

a

train

of

reflections

very

much

like

that

of

the

hunter

;

"

'

tis

done

;

and

though

better

it

were

left

undone

,

can

not

be

amended

.

You

see

we

are

,

too

obviously

,

within

the

sentinels

of

the

enemy

;

what

course

do

you

propose

to

follow

?

"

"

Yes

,

"

said

Hawkeye

,

rousing

himself

again

,

"

'

tis

as

you

say

,

too

late

to

harbor

further

thoughts

about

it

.

Ay

,

the

French

have

gathered

around

the

fort

in

good

earnest

,

and

we

have

a

delicate

needle

to

thread

in

passing

them

.

And

but

little

time

to

do

it

in

,

"

added

Heyward

,

glancing

his

eyes

upward

,

toward

the

bank

of

vapor

that

concealed

the

setting

moon

.

"

And

little

time

to

do

it

in

!

"

repeated

the

scout

.

"

The

thing

may

be

done

in

two

fashions

,

by

the

help

of

Providence

,

without

which

it

may

not

be

done

at

all

.

"

"

Name

them

quickly

,

for

time

presses

.

"

"

One

would

be

to

dismount

the

gentle

ones

,

and

let

their

beasts

range

the

plain

;

by

sending

the

Mohicans

in

front

,

we

might

then

cut

a

lane

through

their

sentries

,

and

enter

the

fort

over

the

dead

bodies

.

It

will

not

do

--

it

will

not

do

!

"

interrupted

the

generous

Heyward

;

"

a

soldier

might

force

his

way

in

this

manner

,

but

never

with

such

a

convoy

.

"

"

'

Twould

be

,

indeed

,

a

bloody

path

for

tender

feet

to

wade

in

,

"

returned

the

equally

reluctant

scout

;

"

but

I

thought

it

befitting

my

manhood

to

name

it

.

We

must

then

turn

on

our

trail

and

get

without

the

line

of

their

look-outs

,

when

we

will

bend

short

to

the

west

,

and

enter

the

mountains

;

where

I

can

hide

you

,

so

that

all

the

devil

's

hounds

in

Montcalm

's

pay

would

be

thrown

off

the

scent

,

for

months

to

come

.
