Hetty looked distressed, turning her eyes from one to the other, but she had no answer to give to the question of the reckless Hurry. "Father," she said, "neither Deerslayer nor Judith knew of my coming until I had left the Ark. They are afraid the Iroquois will make a raft and try to get off to the hut, and think more of defending that than of coming to aid you."
It therefore became a customary thing, when the camp was about to be moved, for Kohath's sons to hasten into the sanctuary and seek to pack up the different portions of it, each one planning cautiously to shift the carrying of the Ark upon another.

"'Ark to 'im, lads," he cried, pointing to me with the stern of his pipe, "'e be a fine un to stand up to Tom Cragg I don't think." "Tell 'un to go an' larn hisself to grow whiskers fust!" cried a second. "Ay, to be sure, 'e aren't got so much as our old cat!" grinned a third. "Stay!" cried the one-eyed man, peering up at me beneath his hand.
In the evening started "for Louisville, which is at the rapids or falls of the Ohio. There it is proposed to take land, to ride through part of Kentucky, visit Lexington and Frankfort, and meet the ark again at the mouth of the Cumberland, which empties into the Ohio about fifty miles before its junction with the Mississippi." My journal has grown too big to be sent by mail.
