As a consequence, some were overtaken and slain. Those who avoided the beaten route of necessity suffered greater hardships; but none was equal to that of meeting their enemies. Omas took care to steer wide of this trail when leading the party into the wild section to the east of the river, and he showed them that he wished them to do the same. Ben was too wise to forget his wishes.
"We all need it," said Ben; "why not take our last meal in our old home? You have no objection Omas?" "Eat here," was his reply. The guns were leaned against the walls, the blankets put aside and all gathered round the board.
Elton, being a vivacious, energetic lady, was often called "the woman of the Christians." The following are the stations at which the merchants stop from Mogador to Morocco, to visit the Emperor. 1st. Emperor's Gardens; five hours from Mcgador, where are some fine fig trees, and a spring. 2nd. Aïn Omas. 3rd. Seeshouar. 4th. Wad Enfes.
"The weather is warm now," remarked the prudent housewife, "but a cold storm may set in before we reach shelter." With which she folded a blanket from her bed and laid it over her arm. Omas showed some impatience, though his companions did not understand the cause. His actions, indeed, were curious.
She had been begging for this visit, and now, when she saw her friend, she ran forward, took her little plump hand and said "Linna, I am real glad you have come!" Omas had risen to his feet, and watched the girls with an affection and interest which found no expression on his painted face. His child looked timidly up to him and walked slowly forward, her hand clasped in that of Alice.
"But do you mean that we shall all go with you tonight?" The Delaware was silent for a few seconds. His active brain was busy, reviewing the situation. "No," he finally said; "stay here till Omas come back; then go with him all go den no one be hurt." "Very well; we will wait till you come to us again. We will take good care of Linna."
"It does seem as if Indians are human beings like the rest of us," was her thought; "but who could resist her gentle ways?" Up went the single stone in the air, and Omas grabbed the batch that were lying on the ground, and then caught the first as it came down.
Red Wolf was afraid that when the fearful Delaware warrior thundered down on them, he would not give his brother time to explain matters before sinking his tomahawk into his brain. Manifestly, therefore, but one course was open for him, and he took it without a second's delay. He fled for his life. The Senecas, however, stood their ground. The signal of Omas sounded again, and Linna answered it.
You will remember that when Omas, after conducting the little company some distance from Wyoming, showed a wish to leave them, the good woman had no doubt what his purpose was: he wanted to take part in further cruelties against the hapless settlers.
A faint wreath of smoke filtering through the branches overhead showed they had started a small fire, beside which they were probably sitting or reclining on the ground. Now that he was certain they belonged to his own race, he had less fear. Still, they might prove unpleasant neighbors when they came to know one of the party was a daughter of Omas.
