The gun dropped from his hands and

now alarmed for his brother, who was
scarcely able to swim, threw down his
gun aud rushed into the river in order
to bring him ashore-but Adam, more
intent upon securing the scalp Of Big
Foot as trophy, than upon his own
safety, called loudly upon his brother
to leave him alone and scalp the big
