The leaf of the hemlock is like the leaf of the sumach; the ash, the chestnut; the chestnut, the linden; and the linden, the broad-leaved tree which bears the red fruit, in the clearing of the Yengeese; but the tree of the red fruit is little like the hemlock! Conanchet is a tall and straight hemlock, and the father of Narra-mattah is a tree of the clearing, that bears the red fruit.
If he see June, kill her." "But we thought that no one knew of this island, and that we had no reason to fear our enemies while on it." "Much eye, Iroquois." "Eyes will not always do, June, This spot is hid from ordinary sight, and few of even our own people know how to find it." "One man can tell; some Yengeese talk French." Mabel felt a chill at her heart.
Ever see dead horse in wood well, no crow there, eh? Plenty crow, isn't he? Just so, Injin. Wounded soldier carry off, and Injin watch in wood, behind army, to get scalp. Scalp good, after battle. Want him, very much. Wood full of Huron, along path to Albany. Yengeese down in heart; Huron up. Scalp so good, t'ink of nuttin' else."
"Reed-that-bends," he said, addressing the young culprit by name, and in his proper language, "though the Great Spirit has made you pleasant to the eyes, it would have been better that you had not been born. Your tongue is loud in the village, but in battle it is still. None of my young men strike the tomahawk deeper into the war-post none of them so lightly on the Yengeese.

He put them in the midst of the water, for he saw that they could swim. Did he forget the Yengeese? or did he put them in a swamp, where they would turn into frogs and lizards!" "Heathen, my voice shall never deny the bounties of my God!
After a patient pause, however, one of the aged men, perceiving that the sage had lost the recollection of the subject before them, ventured to remind him again of the presence of the prisoner. "The false Delaware trembles lest he should hear the words of Tamenund," he said. "'Tis a hound that howls, when the Yengeese show him a trail."

Where have you been this fortnight past?" "Been see have see know him just so. Come call young men; go on war-path." Here, then, was an explanation of the mystery of the Onondago's absence!
"Our wise men have often said that two warriors of the unchanged race were in the hills of the Yengeese; why have their seats at the council-fires of the Delawares been so long empty?"
"We have made a friend of the Narragansett Chief," he said, "and this league with Philip is broken?" "Yengeese," returned the other, "I am full of the blood of Sachems." "Why should the Indian and the white do each other this violence? The earth is large, and there is place for men of all colors and of all nations on its surface."
"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.
