The eye Of Wet2el was quick to preccivC

by the novelty and probably danger Of thl
situation in which he wi placed. .....

| Some time elapsed before either made the
| slightest motion. At length, the tramping
| of the pony, approaching the creek, was dis
tinctly heard; and Elliot made motion to
wards raising his head to obtaiua sight o.
! Rose, but his purpose was promptythwart'
J ed BY the brawry arm Of his compaDion,

ear, his l9yorite injunction, Be quiet! ,
L Wctzel's head was placed behind clus-
ter of green leayes, through the interstices
Of which he was enabled to obtain view
of the shore Of the creek, opposite the place
at.which the canoe was sunk. He observed
4 Old Cross Fire conduct the pony to the
margin of the bank, at which place he lifted
! his captive to the ground. The sobbing OF
| Rose, at this time, was quite audible. AS
the soundsfell upon Elliot $ ear, he trembled
with remodon, and might have infringed

Rose $ saddle, merely stripped the pony of
its bride, which he slipped across the ami

cantered into the bushes, where it soon com

Rose down the decIiyity, and their whole
party appeared Oh the beach. Two Of them
I waded into the creek as far as the twig
which had been observed by Wetzel, where
! they plunged their arms INTO the water, and
each drew torth wooden fork. Their ca

trously throwing out the water it contained
| they pushed it to the shore, where Old
Cross-Eire and the other warriors had re-
manned to stand guard over Rose. The fair
captive was then placed in the bow of the
canoe; one of the Indians seated himself
about its center; whilst arother drew forth
the paddle, stood erect In the stern, and
pushed off. The old chief and one Indian
remained on the beach, probably to await
