"Tonyquat!" exclaimed Mrs Ravenshaw, aghast with surprise, "what does the child mean?" "I'll say Tony, mother, if you like it better," he said, taking his mother's hand. "He's become a redskin," said Victor, half-amused, half-anxious.
"I will undertake the horse job," Boston Joe said. "As you say, three is enough here. They will think they are going to take us by surprise, and as soon as they find we are ready for them they will draw off fast enough. I reckon that fellow has counted our numbers, and no redskin will try to force that pass with five Western rifles facing him."
"That is true," she said, "but the stage driver told me that he had not seen a redskin since crossing the Nebraska line." "That may be," he replied, "still they may have been in the bluffs, or sand hills watching their opportunity to surprise one of the many small trains of pilgrims, thinking to overpower them, run off their cattle and massacre all."
S'pose we fetch along that young cub and his sister. Company for Sile. Make the old chief feel fine." Long Bear gave several grunts of assent when spoken to, and once more Two Arrows felt as if he were growing very fast indeed. "We'll go back and move the wagons," said Pine to Sile. "You and your young redskin can scout on down the valley. You've got your directions 'bout finding us.

Fred was still struggling, in the frantic hope of twisting himself loose from the grasp of the redskin, when the latter spoke in his harsh, guttural voice: "Stop, or I'll kill."
Instead of having under him a body of colonials, such as were the belligerent gentlemen of Canada, who were eager to take part in raids against the English and who led their savage followers with the craft of the redskin and the intelligence of the white man, he had many separate groups of people.
But his cheek bones were not prominent enough for an Indian, and when he saw me a ruddy color flashed through the sickly copper of his skin and a menacing look shone in his eyes. And I, at the first glimpse, knew that the fellow was no more of a redskin than myself.
Some redskin or other would make it out, and we should have a troop of them on our trail, before an hour had passed." "There's no marching through the forest now, Nat," James said. "I can't see my own hand close to my face." "That's so, captain, and we'd best halt till daylight.
Winnemak and Uncle Jeff agreed, therefore, that it would be prudent to move further to the north, in consequence of what Piomingo had told me.
