But the traces led on all day, and the next morning, after another night spent in the thickets, Tayoga said that the Great Bear was still far ahead, and it was possible they might not overtake him until they approached the shores of Champlain. "But if necessary we'll follow him there, won't we, Tayoga?" said Robert. "To Oneadatote and beyond, if need be," said the Onondaga with confidence.
The Indians are armed at Crown Point on Oneadatote, which was once our own Fort Saint Frederick, founded by us, but plenty of them spread to the westward and we'll be sure to have an encounter." The others were of a like opinion, and the line of march was quickly arranged.
But I think we are safe in going toward Oneadatote, as Rogers and his rangers usually operate in the region of George and Champlain." They traveled two days and two nights and came once more among the high ridges and peaks. They saw many Indian trails and always they watched for another.
It was not Robert's first view of it, but he always thrilled at the prospect. "Both Andiatarocte and Oneadatote must be ours," he said to Tayoga. "They're too fine and beautiful to pass into possession of the French." "What about the Hodenosaunee? Do you too forget, Dagaeoga?" "I don't forget, Tayoga. When I said 'ours' I meant American, Hodenosaunee and English combined.
It is hard to stay here in a hole in the rocks, when the sun is shining and the earth is drying. The sun has brought back the green to the leaves and the light now must be wonderful on Andiatarocte and Oneadatote. Their waters shift and change with all the colors of the rainbow. It fills me with longing when I think of these things.
"Then we had a fleet, and, for the time, at least, we won command of the lake. Now the enemy is supreme on Oneadatote. If we have any canoes on its hundred and twenty-five miles of length they are lone and scattered, and they stay in hiding near its shores." "Why are you watching its waters now so intently, Tayoga?" "To see the sentinels of the foe, when they come down from the north.
"That rests in the keeping of Manitou," said the Onondaga, "and now we will take up our packs and go eastward toward Oneadatote." "But we won't go fast, because my pack, with all this venison in it, is by no means light." "It is no heavier than mine, Dagaeoga, but, as you say, we will not hasten, lest we pass the Great Bear and the Mountain Wolf in the forest and not know it.
