"Our friends the Sioux are not over-fond of the Long House.

If the Tuscaroras ride, I do not think they will ever reach the James." The afternoon was now ending, and we were given a meal of corn-cakes and roast deer's flesh.

Then we took our leave, and Mr.Lawrence's last word to me was to send him any English books of a serious cast which came under my eye.

This request he made with so much hesitation, but with so hungry a desire in his face, that I was moved to pity this ill-fated scholar, wandering in Indian lodges, and famished for lack of the society of his kind.
Ringan took me by a new way which bore north of that we had ridden, and though the dusk began soon to fall, he never faltered in his guiding.
Presently we left the savannah for the woods of the coast, and, dropping down hill by a very meagre path, we came in three hours to a creek of the sea.

There by a little fire we found Shalah, and the sloop riding at anchor below a thick covert of trees.
"Good-bye to you, Andrew," cried Ringan.
