"Samoset is an Indian," replied the interpreter, "and his heart is red." "Has he forgotten the time when, with Sassacus and his Paniese, he drank of the Shetucket, where it bounds into the river of the Pequots, when he was thirsty with driving the Narraghansetts over the hills, like leaves chased by the wind?" "Samoset has not forgotten."
He thought proper, however, to remind the Indian of the friendly relation he stood in to his tribe and of the favor he had done them. "The Sagamore and his Paniese," he said, "who brought the defiance of the Taranteens to the English, have returned safe to their people.
"He shall stay, but Sassacus will return to the river of the Pequots, and will speak a loud word in the ears of his tribe, and they shall fill their quivers with arrows, and sharpen their tomahawks, and many will come back with him to ask for Neebin. Sassacus will go alone, and will leave Towanquattick." "Leave not the Paniese behind," said the Knight.
This is enough for thee, O hole, to remember. Forget not lest thou be ashamed." While the Pequot chief was speaking, the Paniese paid the strictest attention, evidently striving to fasten the speech in his memory.
"The danger is past, Prudence," said Eveline, "for Miles tells me she has run away from the Governor's, and was last seen in the woods with one of her brother's Paniese, as the savages call their greatest warriors, Town , Town , I forget his name, but they were going in the direction of their own country." "Toweringantic was the salvage's name," said Prudence.
What was the rage of the chief, when, at the head of the band, he beheld his enemy, the Assistant Spikeman, leading as prisoners his friends and the little Indian girl. Not waiting for the Knight and the Paniese to come up, fitting an arrow, he drew the deer's sinew till the head of the missile touched the hand that held the bow, and sent it whizzing through the air.
"When Sassacus passes by with his Paniese he will tell them that here was a great parting, and Towanquattick will do so also, and they shall tell it it to their children, and so the tale shall run, as the waters of a spring follow one another until they become a lake. So the hole shall speak, long after I have departed with my friends for the happy hunting grounds.
