The three friends looked at Lena-Wingo, as if they wished his opinion before they assented to the proposal. The Mohawk had been a patient listener throughout, and he nodded his head and set the example by leading the way. "Go with him he find boat." Mr.
As there was every convenience for sitting down and enjoying a comfortable rest, they paused, and for the first time that night felt the pleasure of knowing that there was nothing to be feared from the Tories and Indians. "Lena-Wingo, you're a brick!" exclaimed Jo Minturn, taking the liberty of slapping the grim Indian a resounding blow on the back.
Furthermore, nothing seemed so likely to attract the notice of friend or foe, at night, as the blazing camp fire the most conspicuous object possible at such a time in the forest. Lena-Wingo was not the one to forget an occurrence like the firing of a gun, and when the question was put to him by Ned, he answered in the most satisfactory manner.
There may not be much danger of an invasion from any other direction, and yet there's no telling, either, from what point of the compass these wretches may come." "You ought to have explained all that," said Rosa. "I am quite sure that Lena-Wingo would be grateful for all the instruction you can give him in the ways of the woods.
The scow was shoved off a little from the shore, so that the combined weight would not make it too difficult to move it. Then Rosa took her place in the furthest part, and her brother and lover did the same. Lena-Wingo waited till all had arranged themselves, when he forced the craft clear of the land, and sprang lightly into it, as it was still moving away into the stream.
Lena-Wingo answered by pointing toward the shore a little above a spot opposite where they were lying in the stream. "Right there he go 'bout look for us." "Yes, and I see him, too!" added Rosa, the next instant. "There he come!" added the Mohawk, making the discovery at the same moment. "Stoop down, quick! must not see you! Put head low down, so can't see you make no noise."
"To tell the truth, this is too dangerous a place to stay any longer. I hear sounds in the woods that lead me to think there are some of the redskins not very far off, and I prefer to dig out; maybe it'll be safer and better for you to wait till Lena-Wingo comes back, and he'll get you out better than I can."
"The whites and the Mohawk scout are on the river, and will try to return to the shore which they left." This was the interpretation of Lena-Wingo, and it was about impossible for him to make any mistake. The retrogression of the fugitives had been detected, and the confederates on the bank toward which they were working their way were notified to be prepared for their coming.
"All nonsense," he said, by way of introducing the subject. "The Iroquois say Lena-Wingo shan't go to Wilkesbarre all lie Lena-Wingo will go there Iroquois say Lena-Wingo shan't take gal there all lie will take gal there Iroquois say Lena-Wingo run away from Brandt all lie never run away." These broken sentences contained the secret of the Mohawk's course of action.
"When the sun comes to light up the forest, then we will take their trail and hunt them to their holes, and before the sun goes down there shall not be a scalp left but on the head of the Flower of the Woods." "And the traitor Lena-Wingo, what shall be done with him?" "His scalp shall be torn from his head and flung in his face.
