Every one of these people had witnessed the wonderful ceremonial of a white man's mating, the whole Mission had been feasted on white man's fare. Now the landing was thronged for the departure. Women, and men, and children. They were gathered there for the final Godspeed. Peigan Charley was consumed with his authority over the vessels which led the way, bearing the baggage of the party.
In less than half-an-hour after their discovery they were running like deer ahead of the cavalcade in the direction of the Peigan camp. Adventures with the Peigans Crusoe does good service as a discoverer The savages outwitted The rescue. A run of twenty miles brought the travellers to a rugged defile in the mountains, from which they had a view of a beautiful valley of considerable extent.
For a moment he studied his friend's breathing with all his professional skill alert. Then, once more, he withdrew, and took his place at the camp-fire beside Peigan Charley. The first sign of dawn saw the camp astir. Kars was accommodated with one of the Alaskan ponies under pressure from Bill, as the doctor. The whole outfit was on the move before daylight had matured.

"Quit that, Charley! Quit it or by !" His order came in the nick of time. All the pent-up spleen and hatred of Peigan Charley had culminated in an irresistible desire. He had seized a rifle from one of the camp Indians standing by, and had flung himself on the banked up defences. Even as his boss shouted, his eye was running over the sights, and his finger was on the trigger.
What are you figgering?" Kars searched the gray skies. "We'll make Bell River." "I guessed you would. Maybe some folks would say it's you that's crazy. Ask Peigan." Bill laughed. His clever face was always at its best when his twinkling eyes, as it were, bubbled over. The men moved on towards their camp. The threat of the sky added to the gloomy nature of the crudely rugged country.
It comes from long years of moccasin use, and an habitual bent knee walk. Peigan Charley considered himself unusually civilized. But it was for his native abilities that Kars employed him. His broad, bronze face and dark eyes were quite without expression, for all he had searched closely and probed deeply into the horrors of that desperate camp. Perhaps he had no appreciation of horror.
Peigan Charley's belief in his white boss's lack of sanity was characteristic of Indian regard for the reckless. The reason, the driving power of his chief's character was lost to his primitive mind. The act was all he had power to judge by, and the act of voluntarily visiting the headquarters of the Bell River Indians said he was "crazy." But Kars was by no means "crazy," nor anything like it.
But in the meantime, if a Peigan moves from the spot where he sits, or lifts a bow, my young men shall fire, and the Peigans know that the rifle of the Pale-face always kills." Without waiting for an answer, Dick immediately said, "Seek 'em out, pup," and Crusoe bounded away.
The days of early fall are the days in which he can look on labor accomplished, and forward, with confidence, to security under stress, and even a certain comfort. Dr. Bill had been left at the landing with the canoes, and Peigan Charley, and the pack Indians.
