"Does not Narra-mattah hear her father speaking to the God of the Yengeese? Listen he is asking favor for his child!" "The Great Spirit of the Narragansett has ears for his people." "But I hear a softer voice! 'Tis a woman of the Pale-faces among her children: cannot the daughter hear?"
"A Yengeese hath a hard heel, but it is softer than stone. The hoof of the deer would pass many times, to leave such a trail." "Thou art quick of eye, Narragansett, and yet thy judgment may be deceived. My tongue is not the only one that speaketh to the God of my people." The Sachem bent his head slightly, in acquiescence, as if unwilling to press the subject.
They shut him in a cage, like a tamed panther! It was here. The news of his ill-luck passed from the mouths of the young men of the Yengeese, to the hunters; and from the hunters it came to the ears of the Narragansetts. My people had lost their Sachem, and they came to seek him. Metacom, the boy had felt the power of the God of the Yengeese!
"This sounds well, old Tom," said Hurry, winking and laughing, though he too used the precaution to speak low "Give me a ready witted squaw for a fri'nd, and though I'll not downright defy an Iroquois, I think I would defy the devil." "No talk loud," said Hist. "Some Iroquois got Yengeese tongue, and all got Yengeese ear."
"Nay, nay; I speak not of a time so very distant, but of favor shown to thy kindred by one of mine, within the memory of thy youngest warrior." "Was it when the Yengeese and the Dutchmanne fought for the hunting-grounds of the Delawares? Then Tamenund was a chief, and first laid aside the bow for the lightning of the pale faces "
"What has brought the white man into the camp of the Delawares?" "My necessities. I come for food, shelter, and friends." "It cannot be. The woods are full of game. The head of a warrior needs no other shelter than a sky without clouds; and the Delawares are the enemies, and not the friends of the Yengeese. Go, the mouth has spoken, while the heart said nothing."
Nick no hero gone away Nick nebber come ag'in Wyandotté hero who no trust Wyandotté? Yengeese always trust great chief." "I shall take you at your word, Wyandotté, and tell you everything, hoping to make an ally of you. But, first explain to me, why you left the Hut, last night friends do not desert friends." "Why leave wigwam? Because wanted to. Wyandotté come when he want; go when he want.
"The Delawares are women!" he exclaimed, addressing himself to the savage who had a slight understanding of the language in which he spoke; "the Yengeese, my foolish countrymen, have told them to take up the tomahawk, and strike their fathers in the Canadas, and they have forgotten their sex.
"You are too good and gentle for this sort of life, June; you cannot be happy in such scenes?" June's countenance grew clouded, and Mabel fancied there was some of the savage fire of a chief in her frown as she answered, "Yengeese too greedy, take away all hunting-grounds; chase Six Nation from morning to night; wicked king, wicked people. Pale-face very bad."
They say that one just man died for all colors. I know not. Conanchet is a child among the cunning, and a man with the warriors. If this be true, he will look for his woman and boy in the happy hunting-grounds, and they will come to him. There is no hunter of the Yengeese that can kill so many deer.
