Six of the Ganeagaono are gone, Waraiyageh, and sixteen more have wounds, from which they will recover, but when Tandakora began his flight toward Canada eighteen of his men lay dead, eight more fell in the pursuit, which was so fast that we bring back with us forty muskets and rifles." "Well done, Daganoweda," said Colonel Johnson.

"You have proved yourself anew a great warrior and chief, but you did not have to prove it to me.

"Why was I not allowed to go with them ?" mourned young Brant.
Colonel Johnson laughed and patted his shiny black head.
"Never mind, young fire-eater," he said.

"We'll all of us soon have our fill of war--and more." Robert was present at the distribution of rifles and blankets the next morning, and he knew that Colonel Johnson had bound the Mohawks to him and the English and American cause with another tie.
