Darkness was before his eyes, and he was weak and trembling, but he projected his will anew, and a little later sat upright, collected and firm.
Nevertheless, it was Tayoga who now took supreme command.
"You have surely done enough for one night, Dagaeoga," he said.
"Tododaho himself, after doing so much, would have rested.

Lie down now on your blanket and I will watch for the remainder of the darkness.

It is true my left arm is lame and of no use for the present, but nothing will come." "I'll do as you tell me, Tayoga," said Robert, "but first I give you back your bow and arrows.

They've served us well, though I little thought I'd ever have to do work as a bowman." He was glad enough to stretch himself on the blanket and leaves, as he realized that despite his will he had become weak.

Presently he sank into a deep slumber.
