"Why, no not exactly on the trip; but I was sent in winter with provisions to them and much need they had of them, poor fellows! I found them tearing away at some old parchment skins that had lain under the snow all winter, and that an Injin's dog would ha' turned up his nose at and they don't turn up their snouts at many things, I can tell ye.
"That's altogether a woman's consait. There's no let-up in an Injin's watchfulness when he's on a war-path, and eyes are on us at this minute, 'though the lake presarves us. We must draw near the rock on a calculation, and indivor to get the miscreants on a false scent. The Mingos have good noses, they tell me; but a white man's reason ought always to equalize their instinct."
"And I suppose you can't even guess where any of those who escaped went to?" "Couldn't guess more nor a Red Injin's noo-born babby." "Quashy," said Lawrence in a low voice, "be careful how you speak of Indians."
"That I'll gainsay, to the hour of my death! A white man's eyes, and a white man's nose, and for that matter his sight and ears are all better than an Injin's when fairly tried. Time and ag'in have I put that to the proof, and what is proved is sartain.
"No so good as squaw," answered the Tuscarora, sententiously, and not altogether without disgust in his manner. "We are seldom as good as our wives, and mothers, and sisters, Nick, else should we be angels on earth. But, allowing for the infirmities of us men, my father was just and gocd." "Too much flog" answered the savage, sternly "make Injin's back sore."
