If you will promise not to cross the river till we can get out well on the lake, we may shift our ground, however, and leave no trail." "Muss cross over yes, muss cross over, else Pottawattamie t'ink it strange yes, muss cross over. Shan't touch canoe, dough." "How can you help it, if they be so minded? You are but a single man, and they are twenty."
The letter might be the means of preventing the garrison from falling into the enemy's hands." "Got dere, already. Garrison all kill, scalp, or prisoner. Pottawattamie talk tell me DAT" "Is this possible! Mackinaw and Chicago both gone, already! John Bull must have been at work among the savages a long time, to get them into this state of readiness!" "Sartain work long as can 'member.
"I did not see you, Pigeon, among the red young men, yesterday, out on Prairie Round." "Know too much to go dere. Crowsfeather and Pottawattamie out dere. Bess not go near dem when dey have eye open. Take 'em asleep. Dat bess way wid sich Injin. Catch 'em some time! But your ear open, Bourdon?" "Wide open, my good friend what have you to whisper in it?" "You look hard at Peter when he come in.
The voyagers thought themselves happy when they gained at last the shelter of a little sandy cove, where they dragged up their canoes, and made their cheerless bivouac in the drenched and dripping forest. Here they spent five days, living on pumpkins and Indian corn, the gift of their Pottawattamie friends, and on a Canada porcupine, brought in by La Salle's Mohegan hunter.
The Pottawattamie does not kill the deer of the Iowa, nor the Ottawa the deer of the Menomenees. Each tribe knows its own game. This is because they are not lost. My pale-face father appears to wish us well. He has come on a long and weary path to tell us about his Manitou. For this I thank him. I thank all who wish to do me good. Them that wish to do me harm I strike from behind.
"Yes; 'twas an enemy that killed him; and an enemy that took his scalp." "Why do it, eh? Why come here to take Pottawattamia scalp, when no war-path open, eh?" "Pottawattamie, the truth must always be said to a medicine-man. There is no use in trying to hide truth from HIM. There IS a war- path open; and a long and a tangled path it is.
Pottawattamie hear great way off." "Oh! That's it, is it! You're afraid our old friends the Pottawattamies may find us out, and come to thank us for all that happened down at the river's mouth. Well," continued le Bourdon, laughing, "if they wish another whiskey-spring, I have a small jug left, safely hid against a wet day; a very few drops will answer to make a tolerable spring.
My Uncle Elijah and quite a large number of gentlemen and ladies came over from Weston to attend the entertainment. The Indians returned to their homes well satisfied. My uncle at that time owned a trading post at Silver Lake, in the Pottawattamie country, on the Kansas river, and he arranged an excursion to that place.
"No," answered the Chippewa, after a moment's reflection, "no very safe for Yankee, or Yankee Injin. Don't t'ink my scalp very safe, if chief know'd I'm Yankee runner. Bess alway to keep scalp safe. Dem Pottawattamie I take care not to see. Know all about 'em, too. Know what he SAY know what he DO b'lieve I know what he T'INK."
Professor Sillcocks looked rather depressed for a day or two, but he soon cheered up and seemed to forget the team's existence. We swam right along, beating Pottawattamie, scoring sixty points on Ogallala and getting into magnificent condition for the Kiowa game on Thanksgiving. That was the game of the year for us.
