With a smart slap on the creature's flank Nuck sent the horse tearing down the road to Bennington and was almost out of rifle shot before the Yorkers realized his escape and the meaning of it. Several shots followed him, so reckless were the justice's companions, but there was no pursuit.
Father said he was a master bold man and feared neither the King nor the people." "And no man need fear either if he fear God," declared the ranger, simply. "We are only seeing the beginnings of great trouble, Nuck. We may do battle to Yorkers now; perhaps we shall one day have to fight the King's men for our farms and housel-stuff.
A sleigh was a luxury that few Bennington people owned, although Nuck might have hitched the old wood-sled to Dobbin. He spent one night at a farmer's on the road, and was welcomed at supper time the next evening at the Lewis house. "Zuckers!" exclaimed Lot, running out to drag his friend off his horse, "I tell ye, I'm glad to see ye! And so'll marm be if the young uns don't bother her too much.
"He's climbed up inside," declared Nuck. "I warrant that tree's holler up to the first crotch." "What'll we do?" demanded Bryce. "You shot that one, Nuck. Now I wanter git the other, before we go home." "We'll smoke him out," declared the elder brother. "You stay right here and watch, and I'll get some wood." Nuck had brought a tomahawk which, with his skinning knife, was thrust into his belt.
These arrangements had scarce been made when a figure was descried approaching at top speed. It was a messenger to warn the settlers of the coming of the enemy. "Run down to the house, Nuck," commanded 'Siah, "and get the news for me. Keep your heads down, lads! Let them Yorkers when they come, think there ain't nobody to home!"
They'll have their horses handy and good horses, too, I'll be bound. Tell them to come here with saddle and rifle." These two men lived at the other end of the village. Nuck routed them out and in fifteen minutes was back with them at the inn. By that time quite a crowd had collected and ten men beside Nuck were found to be mounted and ready to set forth after the Yorkers.
Lot had drawn these conclusions from the remarks of his own mother, who was troubled by many children and lacked that "faculty," as New England folk used to term it, for bringing them up cheerfully. "I guess we'll get a better supper if the girls are there," admitted Nuck, quietly. "But what'll they do?" demanded Robbie, the embryo woman-hater.
Paullini and the Ephemerides give instances of milk appearing in the perspiration, and there are numerous varieties of milk-metastasis recorded Dolaeus and Nuck mention the appearance of milk in the saliva. Autenreith mentions metastasis of milk through an abdominal abscess to the thigh, and Balthazaar also mentions excretion of milk from the thigh.
Of an Indian attack there was little danger; but they did not know to what length the Yorkers might go when once they did appear. Nuck believed Simon Halpen to be a man without compassion or mercy, and that the house might be attacked and burned over their heads.
It was still several hours before dawn, but the moon brilliantly illumined the forest road and as the way was fairly well beaten, Nuck set the horse at his fastest pace. He knew that he could find men at Bennington particularly at the Green Mountain Inn who would consider no hardship too great to assist the captured settler.
