Church had gained the top end of the tree, when he espied an Indian on the stump of it, on the other side of the stream.

Church, brought his gun to his shoulder and would have shot the Indian, had not one of his own Indians told him not to fire, as he believed it was one of his own men.

On hearing voices, the Indian looked about, and the friendly Indian got a glance at his face and discovered that it was Philip.

The friendly Indian fired, but too late, for Philip, leaping from the stump, ran down the bank among the bushes and in a moment was out of sight.

Church gave chase to him; but he could not be found, though they picked up a few of his followers.
