Old Sikaso leant apart on his mighty war-axe. He seemed to regret heartily that he had not had an opportunity of testing its metal on the head of the knavish Portuguese. "What do you say to that plan, Sikaso?" asked Frank, who already placed a high value on the old warrior's judgment. "That it is good, my white brother.
Tell them that we have never wronged the Taranteens by word or deed, nor is it our intention now to punish them for their injurious suspicions. But tell them, also that, as I have broken their arrows and dashed their war-axe, in pieces, so will I serve them, if the north-wind brings to my ears a whisper of evil designs from them.
If the Huron had not been a convert, she might have saved her life by becoming one of the chief's many slaves; but she had repulsed the Onondaga pagan. As Ragueneau looked, the girl fell dead with her skull split by the chief's war-axe. The Hurons on the lake now knew what awaited them; and a cry of terror arose from the children. Then a silence of numb horror settled over the incoming canoes.
In it I saw a band of men coming toward us down the river and at the head of them was a dark man a man you know well, my white brother with the four eyes." "Diego!" exclaimed Billy divining the other's thought. "Yes, Diego; cursed be the day that my war-axe did not cleave his ugly skull; but beside Diego there is another.
The fair-skinned warriors, armed only with their long bows and a kind of short-handled war-axe, were almost helpless beneath the savage mounted green men at close quarters; but at a distance their sharp arrows did fully as much execution as the radium projectiles of the green men. But if the warriors themselves were outclassed, not so their savage companions, the fierce banths.
The "terrible war-axe" is the usual poor little tomahawk, more like a toy than a tool. After a bathe in the muddy Mbokwe, I returned to the village, and found it in a state of ferment.
Now War-well had fought so fiercely that he had rent his own hauberk with the might of his strokes, and as he raised his arm to smite a huge stroke, a deft man of the Felons thrust the spike of his war-axe up under his arm; and when War-well felt the smart of the steel, he turned on that man, and, letting his axe fall down to his wrist and hang there by its loop, he caught the foeman up by the neck and the breech, and drave him against the other Dusky Ones before him, so that their weapons pierced and rent their own friend and fellow.
"Dorothy," I said, smiling, "I use some weapons better than I do the war-axe. Are you afraid for me?" She looked at me seriously. "In that little world which I know there is much that terrifies men, yet I can say, without boasting, there is not, in my world, one living creature or one witch or spirit that I dread no, not even Catrine Montour!" "And who is Catrine Montour?"
Texas ain't got no call to wake up so malignant over what's most likely nothin' worse than humor on Tutt's part; an', Tutt, it ain't up to you none neither, to go spurrin' Texas in the shoulder in the midst of what I'm yere to maintain is a mighty thrillin' narration. "'Texas is good people, says Dave, 'an' the last gent with which I thirsts to dig up the war-axe.
I liked neither my present errand, nor Boyd's smile either. Now, I had not thought to take with me my side-arms, but a slave waited at the door with my belt. And as I buckled it and hung war-axe and heavy hunting blade, I began to comprehend something of the imminent danger which so apparently lurked about this country.
