"Oh, Lord! You should not lose your temper with an Indian!" I said, vexed at his indiscretion. "I know it. I'll not interfere with your tame wolves, Loskiel. But Hanierri madded me; and now he's told Dominie Kirkland's praying Indians, and not one o' them will stir from Tioga the chicken-hearted knaves! What do you think of that, Loskiel?" "I am sorry.
We followed the hard-travelled war-trail in single file; and Hanierri did not lose his way, but instead of taking, as he should have done, the unused path which led to the Chinisee Castle, he passed it and continued on. I protested most earnestly to Boyd; the Sagamore corroborated my opinion when summoned.
And I could say no more. At eleven our party of twenty-nine set out, Hanierri, the Oneida, from headquarters, guiding us; and I could not understand why Boyd had chosen him, for I was certain he knew less about this region than did Mayaro, However, when I spoke to Boyd, he replied that the General had so ordered, and that Hanierri had full instructions concerning the route from the commander himself.
"Demons have teeth and claws. Look upon their scalp-locks, Loskiel!" I strove to subdue my rising anger. "You are the only reliable guide in the army today who can take us straight to Catharines-town," I said. "If we lose you we must trust to Hanierri and his praying Oneidas, who do not know the way even to Wyalusing as well as you do. Is this just to the army? Is it just to me, O Sagamore?
So strange and apathetic had his manner become, so unlike himself was he, that I could make nothing of him, and stood in uneasy wonderment while the Mohican and the Oneida, Hanierri, were gravely disputing. "Come," he said, in his husky and altered voice, "let us have done with this difference in opinion. Let the Oneida guide us as we cannot have two guides' opinions. March!"
