AN IRISH TRAPPER AND TEE INDIANA
Many years ago, when the white men who had
seen the Rocky Mountains might still have
been counted, and only very few of the prairie
Indians knew the use of FIRE arms, FitIpatrick
had one day got separated from his compan-
IONS, and was pursuing his game alone in the
wilderness. As ill luck would have it, he was
seen by party Of Indians, who Immediately
prepared 70 give chase. There was not the
slightest chance of escape for him, but the
young hunter made q feint of running away,
in order, if possible, to gain time. BE han.
Psned to know that these savages, who, as yet
were little acquainted with the use of FIRE
arms, had several times, when they had taken
white hunters prisoners, put the muzzle Of
the ride close to their breasts, and fred them
oy way OF experiment, to see what would come
OF it. He, therefore, thought it prudent to
extract the bullet from his, and then continued
his fight.
The Indians followed, and very soon over.
took him, and then they disarmed him and
tied him to q tree. One Of the warriors, who,
IL appeared, understood how to pull q trigger,
then seized the ride, placed himself a few feet
In front OF the owner Of it, took aim at his
breast, and fred; but when the Indians looked
eagerly through the smoke towards FitEpat-
rick, they saw that he was standing safe and
sound in his place, and he quietly took out of
his pocket the bullet he had previously placed
there, and tossed it to his enemies who were
all Amusement. They declared that he had
arrested the bullet in its fight, was invulner-
able, and wonderful coDjurer; and what was
more, that some great misfortune would most
likely befal the tribe if they did not set him free
immediately; and they therefore cut his bonds
and made of as fast as possible, leaving Fitx-
patrick free to 60 where he pleased.
