But he uttered an exclamation of delight when he recognized the leader, Henry.
"What have you found ?" he asked eagerly.
"We've been to Oghwaga," replied the youth, "and we went all about the town.

They do not suspect our coming.

At least, they did not know when we left.

We saw Brant, Timmendiquas, the Butlers, and Wyatt enter the house for a conference." "And now is our chance," said eager young William Gray.

"What if we should take the town, and with it these men, at one blow." "We can scarcely hope for as much as that," said Henry, who knew that men like Timmendiquas and Thayendanegea were not likely to allow themselves to be seized by so small a force, "but we can hope for a good victory." The young captain rode quickly back to his comrades with the news, and, led by the five, the whole force pushed forward with all possible haste.
William Gray was still sanguine of a surprise, but the young riflemen did not expect it.
