"It is the Jibbenainosay!" muttered the shivering Telie: "these are the woods he used to range in most; and they say he screams after his prey! It is not too late: let us go back!"
He war always found in the deepest forests, and that's the reason we call him Nick of the Woods; wharby we mean Old Nick of the Woods; for we hold him to be the devil, though a friendly one to all but Injuns. Now, captain, I war never superstitious in my life, but I go my death on the Jibbenainosay!
Let my brother speak for me; let him show me where to find the Jibbenainosay; and he shall be a great chief, and the son of a chief: Wenonga will make him his son, and he shall be a Shawnee!" "Does Wenonga, at last, feel he has brought a devil upon his people?" said Nathan, speaking for the first time since his capture, and speaking in a way well suited to strike the interrogator with surprise.
The Jibbenainosay, I tell you he has killed the chief; we found him dead in his cabin; and the Injuns are bawling for revenge they are, d n 'em, and they'll murder you, burn you, tear you to pieces; they will, there's no two ways about it: they're singing out to murder the white men, and they'll be on you in no time!"
The squaws and the children curse me, as I go by: they say I am the killer of their husbands and fathers; they tell me it was the deed of Wenonga, that brought the white man's devil to kill them; 'if Wenonga is a chief, let him kill the killer of his people! I am Wenonga; I am a man; I fear nothing: I have sought the Jibbenainosay.
There's not a cussed warrior of them all that doesn't go to his bed at night in fear; for none knows when the Jibbenainosay, the Howl of the Shawnees, may be upon him. Ever since that, the Jibbenainosay has been murdering among them; and they hold that it's a judgment on the tribe, as ondoubtedly it is.
"All etarnity's the matter!" replied Doe, with vehement utterance: "the Jibbenainosay has been in the village, and killed the chief ay, d n him, struck him in his own house, marked him at his own fire! he lies, dead and scalped ay, and crossed too on the floor of his own wigwam; the conjuror gone, snapped up by his devil, and Wenonga stiff and gory! Don't you hear 'em yelling?
"Captain," said the elder Bruce, "you don't seem to understand the afta'r altogether; but if you were to ask Tom about the Jibbenainosay till doomsday, he could tell you no more than he has told already.
Ay, Dick, it's true, jist as I tell you: there has been a dozen or more Injun warriors struck and scalped in our very wigwams here, in the dead of the night, and nothing, in the morning, but the mark of the Jibbenainosay to tell who was the butcher.
This ass had been reading the 'Jibbenainosay, no doubt, and had had his poor romantic head turned by it; but as I had not yet seen the book then, I took his inventions for truth, and did not suspect that he was a plagiarist. However, we had a Lynch living in the town; and the more I reflected upon his impending doom, the more I could not sleep.
