The Indian remained with the Godfreys for a few days, amusing himself with shooting and assisting in a general the premises. Trouble occurring among the tribe of which Paul was a sub-chief, he was sent for to return to the tribe, and at a great war council he was elected Chief in Thomas' place.
They lost two great chiefs: Colonel Charles Lewis, the brother of the general, and Colonel John Field both Braddock men; six captains and as many lieutenants were killed, also. The Indians said that had they known how to clean their rifles, they would have done better. Cornstalk and Logan lost the sub-chief Puck-ee-shin-wah, but only forty or fifty others in killed and wounded.
If you will look into your records you will find that my papers were presented two or three weeks ago." "Let me see them." The vintner's passports were produced. The sub-chief compared them to the corresponding number in his book. There was nothing wrong about them. "I do not recollect seeing you here before." "It was one of your assistants who originally went over the papers."
My grandfather was then a sub-chief and my great- grandfather was a war chief, whose name was Pun-go-wish: And several other chiefs of the tribe I could mention who existed at that time, but this is ample evidence that the historian was mistaken in asserting that there was no known Ottawa chief existing at the time of the massacre.
"Bravo, Caroline, bravo!" exclaimed Caterna, applauding with the vigor of the sub-chief of the claque. We left the young Roumanian to the caresses, as exaggerated as they were sincere, of the worthy actress.

Henry saw the renegade, Simon Girty, approach, and talk with the chief for a few moments, but he was much too far away to hear what they said.

He had become a sub-chief in the Red Lodge military clan.
We have so much time to find them." The sarcasm was crushing. "They probably were lost or destroyed years ago." He concluded temporizingly, under the compelling eyes gazing coldly at him.
