He took good care that the Indians should not catch him again. He af-ter-wards became a great fighter against the Indians. He had learned their ways while he was among them. He knew better how to fight them than almost any-body else. In the Rev-o-lu-tion he was a gen-er-al. He fought the British at Ben-ning-ton, and won a great vic-to-ry. Some men are great soldiers.

The young men set traps for animals in many places.
