"Let Great Bear and his friends go in peace.

This fight is ours." Despite the dusk, Robert saw Daganoweda's eyes glisten.

He thoroughly understood the fierce soul of the young Mohawk chief, who would not let such a brilliant opportunity for battle pass him.
"Then farewell, Daganoweda," said Willet.

"You have been a friend at the right moment." He led again in the flight toward the south and the five saw the chief and his warriors passing the other way sink into the dusk.

Soon they heard shots behind them and they knew that the Mohawks were engaged in battle with the Hurons and their friends.
