When Lena-Wingo was appealed to, it was natural that the others should look him full in the face and, as they did so, each saw the old grin with which they were becoming so familiar. "Lena-Wingo say nothing," was the unexpected reply of their guide, who still leaned on the pole as if waiting for the others to finish their discussion and enter the boat.
There was another canoe that was also hunting for them, as will be remembered, and, in case these two should meet, the whole truth would become known at once. Lena-Wingo was not mistaken in his suspicion that he heard the two boats at the same time, showing that they were not only very near, but drawing nearer every minute.
"It can be done," said Jo, carrying out the plan fixed upon some time before. "We have already shown them that there is no use of their trying to stop us, when we have made up our minds to do something, I mean Lena-Wingo more than us, and so we can afford to retire and leave them to themselves." "If they can't stop us," said Rosa, "what, then, is the use of acting as though they had done so?"
"It makes Lena-Wingo angry," continued Jo, who felt a hesitation about running directly in the face of the well-known wishes of the dusky scout, "for us to disregard his instructions on a point like this; but I think if he understood the chance we have of helping him in this matter he would be glad for us to avail ourselves of it."
"I suppose Lena-Wingo would not be likely to make any objection, and if he did, I don't see why we should stay here and expose ourselves to danger on his account." "Very well, I agree to that " To the amazement of all, a second report, apparently of the same gun, broke in upon their startled ears.
Lena-Wingo was the one to whom the others looked to solve the problem, and he undertook it without delay. "Stay here," said he. "Lena-Wingo find canoe." "If you can manage to get back before to-morrow night," put in Rosa, "it may save us a deal of valuable time." "Lena-Wingo come back soon as can girl don't talk much."
Lena-Wingo did not stand idle long when they were confronted by such danger, but turning about, stepped hastily back to where Jo was awaiting the word of command, and took the pole from him. "Must go back Iroquois heard us coming watch for us."
"She mistrusted that villain from the first, and gave us the alarm just in time to save ourselves." Having reached the spot for which he set out, the question with the youth was whether he should stay where he was or go further. He had seen nothing of Lena-Wingo and Worrell a disappointment in both cases, though of a different nature.
None of the friends made any reference to it, nor did Lena-Wingo, but there came a resolve which took a deep hold of the hearts of the three that hereafter, while in the woods, the instructions of the Mohawk should be followed to the letter, even though the threatened consequences were death itself.
Lena-Wingo told me that he has spoken to him many times, and he looks upon him as if he were some one sent by the Great Spirit to save our country." "He means Heaven when he speaks of the Great Spirit, and he is right; for he is the man of all others to carry the colonies to their independence." "Have you ever seen Washington?" "No. That great pleasure is before me.
