n a minute it was floating
far all seemed impressed. with the nee- '
essity of securing this important boat,
the one side in order to assail their
foes and the other to secure their re-
treat. The addition to the .party, .how-
ever,
xw--
ever, was ati unlookrd4for, aatd so
.completely gave the enemy the sup-
eriority, that 'for a few moments the
ingenuity and address of even the De-
laware were •ot fault. The five Iroqu-
ois, who seemed perfectly to under-
stand their errand, 'pressed forward to-
wards their own shore. without •paus-
ing'to converse; their object being -in
truth to obtain the paddles, which they
had previously secured, and to embark
three or four warriors, with all their
rifles and powderhorns, the want of
which had alone prevented their
crossing the river by swimming as
as it was dark,
In this manner. the .body of `friends
and foes united reached the margin
of the eastern channel, Where, as in
the case of the western, the river was
. too deep to ibe waded. Here a short
pause succeeded, it being necessary to
,determine rhe manner in which the
canoe ibe carried across.- One of the
tour who had ,fust reached the boat with tenfold force, while he listened
in etfll deeper water at the foot of the
rift. Here, however. the Iroquois taas
not slow in finding that something
unusual retarded their advance, and,
looking [back, he first learned that he
was resisted !by the efforts of his com-
panions.
That second nature which ,grows up
through habit instantly told the young
Iroquois that he was alone with en-
emies. Dashing the water aside, he
sprang at the throat of !Chingaclugook,
and the two Indians, relinquishing
their hold of the canoe; seized each
other like tigers. ,In the midst of the
darkness of that gloomy night, and
floating in an element so dangerous to
man when engaged in deadly strife,
they appeared to forget everything
but their fell animosity and their
mutual desire to conquer.
Jasper had now complete command
of the canoe, which flew off like a
feather impelled by the ,breath 'under
the ,violent reaction of the struggles
of the two combatants, The 'first im-
pulse of the youth was to swim to the
aid of the 'Delaware, Pout importance
of securing the boat presented itself
,wag a .chief, and the habitual defer-' to the heavy .breathing of the warriors
as they throttled each other, and he
proceeded as iaet as possible towards
the western shore. This he soot reach-
ed: and after a short search he suc-
ceeded in discovering the remainder
of the party and in procuring his
clothes. A few words .sufficed anti the
'gunner in which the eanttt' had been
obtained.
When those who had been left 'be-
hind had heard the explanations of
jasper. t
1 a profound stillness reigned
amen, them, each listening intently
in the vain hope ni catching .one due
to the result of the fearful struggh•
that hall just taken place, if it were
not still going' on ill the water.:Noth-in was a111)5htle ,beyond the steady
roar of the rushing river: it !being a
part of the policy of their enemies on
the opposite shore to observe the most
death -hike stillness,
"Take this paddle," jasper said
Pathfinder calmly, though the listen-
ers thought his tole .sounded more
melancholy than usual. "and follow
with your own canoe. It is unsafe for
ns to remain here longer."
"But the Serpent "
"The Great Sarpent is in the hands
of his own Deity. and will live or die,
according to the intentions of Provi-
dence. We can do him no good, and
may risk too much by remaining here
in idleness, like women taking over
their distresses, This darkness is
very precious.
A loud, long. piercing yell came
from the shore, and cut short the
words of the guide.
"What is the meaning or that 'up-
roar, Master Pathfinder?" demanded
Cap. "It sounds more like the out-
cries of devils than anything that
can come from the throats of Christ-
ians and men,"
"Christians they are not, and do
not pretend to be, and do not wish to
be, and in calling them devils you
have scarcely misnamed them. That
Yell is one of reiofe!ng, and it is as
conquerors they have given it. The
body of the Serpent, no doubt, dead
or alive, is in their pdwer,"
"And we!" exclaimed Jasper, who
felt a pang of generous regret, as the
idea that he might have averted the
calamity presented itself to his mind,
had he not deserted his comrade,
"We can do the chief no good. lad,
and must quit this spot as fast as
possible."
"Without one attempt to rosette
hint? --without even knowing whether
hehe dead or living?"
"Jasper is right," said Mabel, win,
spoke, though ger voice sounded
"lankily and smothered; "I have nd-
t nee which the American Indian pays

'had spoken.

This warrior was literally in 111, midst
-.'ars most deadly foes, and he could
arce:y [move without touching one
of them. Yet he was apparently tut-
ntoscd. though he kept ail his senses
the alert, in readiness to escape, or

ent. Ry carefully abstaining from 'look-
ing towards those behind him. he less-

The Indians quietly obeyed, leaving
jasper at the stern, and the -Iroquois
who had •found the canoe at the bow
c•f the light craft, Chingaeh.gook ,bury -
bag -himself so deep in the river as. to
be passed by the others without 'de-
tection. The splashing it the water,
the tossing arms, and the calls of one
to another, soon announced that the
four who had last joined the party
were already swimming. As soon as
this fact was certain, the Delaware
rose, resumed his former station, and
began to think the moment for action
was come.
One less habitually under self-re-
straint than this warrior would iprab-
ably have now aimed his meditated
blow, ,but Chingachgook knew there
were more Iroquois ,behind him on the
rift, and he was a warrior much too
trained and experienced to risk any-
thing unnecessarily. He suffered the
'Indian at the how -of the canoe ,to push
riff into the deep water, and then all
three were swimming in the direction
of the. eastern shore, Instead. however,
of helping the canoe across the swift
current, no ,sooner did the Delaware
and Jasper find themselves within the

,CHAPTER CLT
The sg

unity, and the ardent, generous nth
ded .11ahel felt her iblood thrill in h
veins and her cheeks [lush, as the cat

ro quit the pot. The darkness of 41
night had lessened, by the dispersio
of the clouds; but the carver hangin
woods rendered the shore so obscur
that the 'boats floated down the eu
rent in a belt of [gloom that effecntall
secured them from detection. Stil
there was necessarily a strong feeli,
of insecurity in all on 'hoard 'them;
and even jasper, who lb)''this time'be-
gan to tremble, in behalf of the (girl,
at every unusual sound that aros
Front the forest, kept casting uneasy
glances around him, as he drifted on
in company. The paddle was used
lightly, and only with exceeding care;
might apprise;the watchful ears of the

Iroquois of their position.
All these accessories added to int
ressive grandeur of her situation, and
contributed to render the moment
much the most exciting which bad
aver occurred itt the `brief existence of
Mabel Dunham. Spirited, accustomed
to self-reliance, and sustained by the
pride of considering herself a -soldier's
daughter. site could hardly be said to
be under the influence of .fear, yet her
heart often (beat quicker than common,
her fine ,blue eye lighted with an ex-
hibition of a resolution that was wast-
ed in the darkness, and her quickened
feelings came in aid of the real sub-
limity that belonged to the scene and
to the incidents of the night.
'`Mabell" said the suppressed voice
of Jasper, as the two canoes 'floated so
near each other that 'the hand of the
young man held them together; ''y'ou

will rememlber it, Pathfinder; and
there is no gratitude that you can ask
