"They go south for a great taking of scalps, doubtless to join Montcalm, who is surely meditating another sudden and terrible blow." "And he will strike at our forts by Andiatarocte," rejoined Robert. "I hope we can find Willet and Rogers soon and take the news. All the woods must be full of warriors going south to Montcalm."
All the detached forces are coming in, under instructions, to join him. We know that Montcalm drew back into the north after his great blow at Fort William Henry, and we think he is going to fortify on Champlain or between the two lakes. Some of our people must be along the shores of Andiatarocte and Sharp Sword does not want them to find out too much about Montcalm."
The great lake set in the mountains and glimmering under the moon had a wonderful effect upon his imagination. It became for the time the core of all the mighty struggle that was destined to rage so long in North America. The belief became a conviction that whoever possessed Andiatarocte and Oneadatote was destined to possess the continent.
Who are we to ask more for ourselves than the Sun God has done?" "We've been splendidly favored," said Robert, "and if he does not help us with another miracle he'll at least shine for us before long. After such a night as this, I'll be mighty glad to see the day, the green mountains, and the bright waters of Andiatarocte again." "I feel the dawn already, Dagaeoga.
Luc is about to have his revenge for the defeat we gave him at Andiatarocte. The cannon with its grape turns the scale. They come on with uncommon fury! It seems to me I hear a thousand rifles all together." St. Luc now pressed the attack from every side save the south. The French and Indians in the fleet redoubled their fire.
It may be that he read some of the thoughts passing in the mind of the Onondaga, as he said: "You look for your white friends, Tayoga, but you do not see them. Nor will they come. Do you want to know why?" "Why, Tandakora?" "Because they are dead. In the battle back there, toward Andiatarocte, Daganoweda, the Mohawk, was slain.
They were traveling fast and they are now between us and Andiatarocte. I like it but little." "Not any less than I do. It upsets our plans. We must leave the trail, or like as not we'll run squarely into a big band. What a pity our troops didn't press on after the victory at the lake. Instead of driving the French and Indians out of the whole northern wilderness we've left it entirely to them."
