Brent came upon a cabin full of Doegs. Their chief denied knowledge of the murders, but when he started to run Brent shot him. At this the Indians in the cabin made a dash for safety in the face of a volley which brought down ten of them. In the meanwhile Mason, too, had come upon a cabin full of Indians, and had killed fourteen of them.

But how could she have discovered it?
