His brother promised to bring his knapsack and rifle to the settler's cabin. Uncle Eb repossessed himself of his shot-gun, pouch, and powder-horn, which he carried back to his hut, and left under Tiger's protection, telling Dol that "if he wanted to bag any more black ducks he'd have to give 'em a dose wid de rifle, for he warn't a-goin' to lug dat ole fuzzee t'rough de woods."

Some fellow might be hunting or trapping in this part of the forest, or farther up the mountain. But what a blockhead I am!

Henceforth, he thought, there would be little reason for him to dread the unknown in this great wilderness.
