The sentinel grasped his spear, steeled his heart, and stood in front of the door with a look of grand solemnity worthy of the horse-guards. At last, however, the sentinel's own curiosity was roused by the eager looks of those chiefly big boys who drew ever nearer and nearer.
"Um-m-mmwoo-o-o-o!" The sentinel's form melted into the shade. He was gone like a phantom. Another Indian rose quickly, and glanced furtively around the glade. He bent over a comrade and shook him. Instantly the second Indian was on his feet. Scarcely had he gained a standing posture when an object, bounding like a dark ball, shot out of the thicket and hurled both warriors to the earth.

The Mohawk, with his usual perception, saw that the boat could not be entered at the point where it now lay, and he so informed his friends.
