CHAPTER w.
THE RELEASE.

After capturing Albion, the Indians tray
elled fast and oven difficult ground, until
they came to secluded little dell, where
after little consultation amongs. them
selves they stopped, Albion knew enough
Of their language-which with their ges'
tures--to convince him that they intended
to lay by and wait the shades of night the
more to secure their safety. Arrangements
were then made, and as he anticipated, they
lourged about the spot, though closely
watching him, till night set in when they
again commenced Albian--thcir fatigue
ing march. The next morning brought
them to little island hard by Goshen, where
they observed the same caution, as the day
before; viz. securing Albion more surely,
and laying behind logs, and at other times
loiterng about; though never out OF sight of
their capture. They had not been long on
the island however; until Albion, who was
ever awake, heard a splashing in the water
on the opposite side Of the river On rais-
inghis head he discovered a horseman cross
ing towards them. lie cast furtive gLance
at the Indians, and saw that they had not
noticed the noise. His first mpg lse WAS to
rise and attract the attention of the rider,
but on second thought ,he was afraid that
the Indians might through their vicious pur-
poses, shoot linn down before assistance
could be iendercd, and further, that il the
stranger had come to his rescue, it would be

less matter to capture them by surprise
than otherwise. lie accordingly remained
quiet and in a moment the new conner came
full to his view, and imagine his surprise
on beholding Graysonl Fain would he
have attracted his notice, but unfortunately,
he to make the attempt, the Indians would
certainly detect him. Consequently he re-
manned quiet, anxioasly, TO await the issue
He saw Grayson dismount, withdraw pain
of pistols and with one in each hand
look cautiously around. Grayson then APP
preached few steps, but suddenly stopped
for he had discovered one of the Indians
He drew pistol to range with the savage's
head, and fired killing him instantly. The
other two jumped to their feet Yelling

Grayson Immediately raised his other
pistol, and felled a second savage The
other jumped at him with glarlng scaIpiug-
knife, but TO him it was fatal leap, for as
he advanced Graysoa buried his knife, deep
into his bosom. The Indian gave one ap-
pa1ingyell and expired wi,h his fallen broth
ers. After this sigaal triumph Grayson re-
leased Albion, and informed him, that they
thought he must have been captured OF
murdered, as he had not returned or the
house WAS not attacked. He said, they re.
manned up that night on watch. but not be-

absent, led them to doubt his safety in con
