"'Twas a great achievement, Dave," said Rogers to Willet, "and improves our position wonderfully, but 'twas one of the hardest things I've ever had to do to stand here, just waiting and listening to the roar of the battle." "Tayoga says we were helped by Areskoui, and we must have been helped by some power greater than our own.
Now he saw one of the greatest of them all, Areskoui, the Sun God himself, in action and working a miracle. The untamable soul of Daganoweda was filled with wonder and admiration. Not spiritual, he was nevertheless imaginative to a high degree.
"They do not know we are here, I do not think they dream of our presence," continued the Onondaga, "Areskoui smiles on us now, and Tododaho on his star, which we cannot see by day, is watching over us. Their feet will not bring them this way." "Then you wouldn't suggest our taking to flight?" said Willet. "You would favor hiding here in peace?" "Even so.
Fresh air poured in at the upper half, but Robert saw there only a whitish veil like a foaming waterfall. "The time o' day, Sir Tayoga, Knight of the Great Forest," he said lightly and cheerfully. "There is no sun to tell me," replied the Onondaga. "The face of Areskoui will be hidden long, but I know that at least half the day is gone.
Tayoga had not prayed to his patron saint and to the great Areskoui and Manitou in vain, else in all that wilderness, given over to night and storm, they would not have found so good a refuge and shelter.
"I know it," said Tayoga gratefully, "and I am thankful to Tododaho, to Areskoui, to Manitou, greatest of all, and to you, Dagaeoga, without whom the great spirits of earth and air would have let me perish." "You don't owe me anything, Tayoga. It's what one comrade has a right to expect of another.
"They would be sure to see our path," said Tayoga. "Even the short trail I made when I went forth exposes us to danger, and we must trust to luck that they will not see it. There is nothing for us to do, but to remain hidden here, until the next night comes. It is quite certain that the face of Areskoui is still turned from us. What have we done that is displeasing to the Sun God?"
He knew from the feel of the air that a storm was coming, and again he was thankful to his patron saint, Tododaho, and also to Areskoui, and to Manitou, greatest of all, because a bed and a roof had been found for him in this, the hour of his greatest need. The mounting fever in his veins seemed to make his senses more vivid and acute for the time.

Secure in his belief that he was protected by the mighty on their stars, he awaited the future with supreme confidence. The rangers and Mohawks had suffered a further thinning in the last conflict with St.
"Rain," he replied at last; "I can see clouds gathering in the west, and a storm is likely to come with the night. I think I hear distant thunder, but it is so low I'm not sure." "Areskoui is good to us once more. The kindness of his heart is never exhausted. Truly, O Dagaeoga, he has been a shield between us and our enemies.
