the Chiefs that the party had surprised Paw
nee village high up on the Arkansas, and had
it completely surrounded before the inmates
were appraised of their approach. AT first the
Ps0nees showed a disposition to resist, but
finding themselves greatly entnGmbered 10y
their assailants, soon sailed forth from their
village, and took refuge in tie margin of e
