CHAPTER VII.
THE FOREST BATTLE "It is quite evident," said Robert, as they talked, "that we must follow on the trail of St.Luc.

We've settled in our minds that he wants to keep our people busy along Lake George, while Montcalm fortifies higher up.

Then it's our duty to find out what he's doing and stop it if we can." All were in agreement upon the point, even Grosvenor, who did not yet feel at home in the woods.
"But we must wait until the fog lifts," said Willet.

"If we moved now we might walk directly into the arms of the enemy, and we can afford to wait the night through, anyhow.

Tayoga, we have got to keep you fresh, because your senses and faculties must be at their finest and most delicate pitch for trailing, so now you go to sleep.
