"I'm glad the thaw is so complete," said Hendrick, "for it may perhaps clear away the snow altogether. It is too early for winter to begin in earnest. I would suggest now that we encamp again for a few days, to see whether the weather is really going to change; hunt a little, and rest a while. What say you?" With a sigh of contentment the captain answered, "Amen!"
Then, turning to the hunter, he continued: "Come, let us examine this writing together." "Something of this have I heard before," said Hendrick, "and, as I thirst for light and truth, I will gladly examine it with you."
Hendrick fashioned the large though light wooden framework of the shoes five feet long by eighteen inches broad and Oliver cut several deerskins into fine threads, with which, and deer sinews, Paul and the captain, under direction, filled in the net-work of the frames when ready. "Can you go after deer on such things?" asked the captain one night while they were all busy over this work.
One of them, christened Hendrick, an animal whose strength and hardihood were his only merits, and who yielded to nothing but the cogent arguments of the whip, looked toward us with an indignant countenance, as if he meditated avenging his wrongs with a kick.
The funds necessary for carrying on this suit were raised among the blacks themselves. Other suits followed in various parts of the Province; and the result was, in every instance, the freedom of the plaintiff. In 1773 Caesar Hendrick sued his master, one Greenleaf, of Newburyport, for damages, laid at fifty pounds, for holding him as a slave. The jury awarded him his freedom and eighteen pounds.
No, except that when parting she had asked him the correct time in order to set her watch. Did Hendrick see the watch? No, but he thought she wore a chain, and was certain she had spoken of setting her watch, which she said had gone down. This matter excited some interest, because, though the tract given by Hendrick was found in the pocket of the dress, no watch or chain could be discovered.
I now resolved to bring Count Hendrick Luitken to account for his treatment of Anna, though I did not desire that Anna's name should appear in the matter, so that gossip might be avoided. I therefore bided my time, and waited an opportunity which soon came.
At last they reached the great lake, with its beautiful islands, where Hendrick had set up his home. The hunter became very silent as they drew near to its shores. "You seem anxious," remarked Paul, as they approached the lake. "Have you reason to fear aught?" "None none," replied his friend quickly; "but I never return after a long absence without feeling anxious."
Rising after a few minutes' survey, with a grave look he said "Strongbow is not sure. The prints look like those of his tribe, but he is not sure!" "At all events we can follow them," said Hendrick. "The land is open; we cannot easily be surprised, and we have our weapons handy."
That it was affirmed that the great Hendrick Hudson, the first discoverer of the river and country, kept a kind of vigil there every twenty years, with his crew of the Half-moon; being permitted in this way to revisit the scenes of his enterprise, and keep a guardian eye upon the river, and the great city called by his name.
