The course he counsels is already being taken by his compatriots; all of whom, men and women, on hearing the word "Oensmen" the most terrifying bogey of their babyhood have made a rush to the wigwams and hastily gathered up the most portable of their household goods. Nor do they stay for Jemmy; but all together, shouting and screaming, strike off into the woods his own wife with them!
