gathering his head Vivid flashes of light

that his vglant pursuers, guided by their faithful
dog, were directly below him. Crow Immediately
attempted to climb the steep Ben felt for his knife,

looked for his tomahawk, but he recolected that it
had sunk in the water with Yacano, and collecting
arm, he raised from its base the upper part of the
rock on which he had been sitting, and pitching it

Fox, and their dog, all buried under the

his stratagem. Having reganed the top of the hill,
he gave terrible fend-like yell, and few to the
