'Father, he added, as he turned towards Tisquantum, your eye is dim, but your sagacity is as keen as ever. Can you discern that rising smoke, and tell us its cause? The aged Sachem had been riding silently and abstractedly along.
This feeling he was compelled, as we have observed, to conceal from Tisquantum; but it only gained strength by the restraint imposed on its outward expression, and many were the schemes that he devised for its gratification.
Those, and strong emetic herbs, which he forced his patient to repeat until he fainted away, constituted the medical treatment of Tisquantum: but much greater benefit was expected and, such is the power of imagination in these ignorant savages, that it was often attained from the practice of his charms and conjurations.
'Surely he was wounded, and has sunk, never to rise again! exclaimed Henrich. 'His doom has followed him! 'Mahneto be praised! cried Tisquantum; 'but I would I had seen him writhing in those flames! And he turned and left the spot.
"Red man find what you call wolf around his wigwam, red man send arrow through his head." "Do you mean, you heathen, that you murdered these helpless, shipwrecked white men?
