Let
it
be
done
,
and
that
instantly
.
"
Further
words
were
unnecessary
;
for
Hawkeye
,
merely
uttering
the
mandate
to
"
follow
,
"
moved
along
the
route
by
which
they
had
just
entered
their
present
critical
and
even
dangerous
situation
.
Their
progress
,
like
their
late
dialogue
,
was
guarded
,
and
without
noise
;
for
none
knew
at
what
moment
a
passing
patrol
,
or
a
crouching
picket
of
the
enemy
,
might
rise
upon
their
path
.
As
they
held
their
silent
way
along
the
margin
of
the
pond
,
again
Heyward
and
the
scout
stole
furtive
glances
at
its
appalling
dreariness
.
They
looked
in
vain
for
the
form
they
had
so
recently
seen
stalking
along
its
silent
shores
,
while
a
low
and
regular
wash
of
the
little
waves
,
by
announcing
that
the
waters
were
not
yet
subsided
,
furnished
a
frightful
memorial
of
the
deed
of
blood
they
had
just
witnessed
.
Like
all
that
passing
and
gloomy
scene
,
the
low
basin
,
however
,
quickly
melted
in
the
darkness
,
and
became
blended
with
the
mass
of
black
objects
in
the
rear
of
the
travellers
.
Hawkeye
soon
deviated
from
the
line
of
their
retreat
,
and
striking
off
towards
the
mountains
which
form
the
western
boundary
of
the
narrow
plain
,
he
led
his
followers
,
with
swift
steps
,
deep
within
the
shadows
that
were
cast
from
their
high
and
broken
summits
.
The
route
was
now
painful
;
lying
over
ground
ragged
with
rocks
,
and
intersected
with
ravines
,
and
their
progress
proportionately
slow
.
Bleak
and
black
hills
lay
on
every
side
of
them
,
compensating
in
some
degree
for
the
additional
toil
of
the
march
,
by
the
sense
of
security
they
imparted
.
At
length
the
party
began
slowly
to
climb
a
steep
and
rugged
ascent
by
a
path
that
curiously
wound
among
rocks
and
trees
,
avoiding
the
one
,
and
supported
by
the
other
,
in
a
manner
that
showed
it
had
been
devised
by
men
long
practised
in
the
arts
of
the
wilderness
.
As
they
gradually
rose
from
the
level
of
the
valleys
,
the
thick
darkness
which
usually
precedes
the
approach
of
day
began
to
disperse
,
and
objects
were
seen
in
the
plain
and
palpable
colors
with
which
they
had
been
gifted
by
nature
.
When
they
issued
from
the
stunted
woods
which
clung
to
the
barren
sides
of
the
mountain
,
upon
a
flat
and
mossy
rock
that
formed
its
summit
,
they
met
the
morning
,
as
it
came
blushing
above
the
green
pines
of
a
hill
that
lay
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
valley
of
the
Horican
.
The
scout
now
told
the
sisters
to
dismount
;
and
taking
the
bridles
from
the
mouths
,
and
the
saddles
off
the
backs
of
the
jaded
beasts
,
he
turned
them
loose
,
to
glean
a
scanty
subsistence
among
the
shrubs
and
meagre
herbage
of
that
elevated
region
.
"
Go
,
"
he
said
,
"
and
seek
your
food
where
natur
'
gives
it
you
;
and
beware
that
you
become
not
food
to
ravenous
wolves
yourselves
,
among
these
hills
.
"
"
Have
we
no
further
need
of
them
?
"
demanded
Heyward
.
"
See
,
and
judge
with
your
own
eyes
,
"
said
the
scout
,
advancing
towards
the
eastern
brow
of
the
mountain
,
whither
he
beckoned
for
the
whole
party
to
follow
;
"
if
it
was
as
easy
to
look
into
the
heart
of
man
as
it
is
to
spy
out
the
nakedness
of
Montcalm
's
camp
from
this
spot
,
hypocrites
would
grow
scarce
,
and
the
cunning
of
a
Mingo
might
prove
a
losing
game
,
compared
to
the
honesty
of
a
Delaware
.
"
When
the
travellers
reached
the
verge
of
the
precipice
,
they
saw
,
at
a
glance
,
the
truth
of
the
scout
's
declaration
,
and
the
admirable
foresight
with
which
he
had
led
them
to
their
commanding
station
.
The
mountain
on
which
they
stood
,
elevated
,
perhaps
,
a
thousand
feet
in
the
air
,
was
a
high
cone
that
rose
a
little
in
advance
of
that
range
which
stretches
for
miles
along
the
western
shores
of
the
lake
,
until
meeting
its
sister
piles
,
beyond
the
water
,
it
ran
off
towards
the
Canadas
,
in
confused
and
broken
masses
of
rock
,
thinly
sprinkled
with
evergreens
.
Immediately
at
the
feet
of
the
party
,
the
southern
shore
of
the
Horican
swept
in
a
broad
semicircle
,
from
mountain
to
mountain
,
marking
a
wide
strand
,
that
soon
rose
into
an
uneven
and
somewhat
elevated
plain
.
To
the
north
stretched
the
limpid
,
and
,
as
it
appeared
from
that
dizzy
height
,
the
narrow
sheet
of
the
"
holy
lake
,
"
indented
with
numberless
bays
,
embellished
by
fantastic
headlands
,
and
dotted
with
countless
islands
.
At
the
distance
of
a
few
leagues
,
the
bed
of
the
waters
became
lost
among
mountains
,
or
was
wrapped
in
the
masses
of
vapor
that
came
slowly
rolling
along
their
bosom
,
before
a
light
morning
air
.
