Aside from the a pTiori argument, the

overwhelming. Under the circumstances

noon thoy came upon a clearing about
ten acres In extent, situated on a plat

half-dozen miles long. On this plateau
about 60 dwellings of varying sizes

Of a double row of tall saplings planted

the shore was some 200 yards distant,

The advance of the party was not
rapid, because of the inability of the
captives to make long marches. The
leader was evidently a subordinate
chief who feared to ill-treat his white
prisoners lest the responsibility Of hav-
ing provoked hostilities with the
French should be laid at his door. AT
night a special shelter was provided
for Renee, while Tonti and the Mohe-
gan were permitted to rest on the
ground near by. Four of the number
were detailed TO procure food, which
they did in great abundance. An offer
was even made to provide a sort of
bark litter for Renee, swung from the
shoulders of two OF the braves. She
refused this, however, as 1t would havo

however, struggling anew. They were
well-nigh exhausted and remained On
the surface but a moment. Tonti
called encouragingly, but they did not
hear him, and sank again. AS he
reached the spot where they had dis
appeared, the head of the Mohegan
arose from the depths, but he was
alone. Breathless and half drowned
he was, and Tonti had to support him
to enable him to regain his strength.
He soon learned that the nun had
maintained her grip on the Indiah's
neck until they had sunk the second
time and had only released her hold
when they touched the bottom. Tonti
then dived, but to no purpose, and yet
a second time; she was not to be
found.
Feeling his own strength beginning
to fail, and knowing that the strong
un%dercurrents had probably swept her
body from that locality, he turned his
attention to Pompcn, who was maxi
ing vigorous signals of distress, leaving
the Mohegan behind to swim about and
watch for the nuns temperance. He
reached PompOn, who had been Occu-
pied in slipping from the rock and
clambering up again, just in time. and
with him in tow turned toward the
shore. The Indian o relieved him
a condition when he would need help
himself. AS it was, had the shore
been a dozen yards farther off he could
not have reached 1t. He managed,
however, to touch bottom and crawl
out, throwing himself upon the sand,
utterly exhausted. Renee, who had
watched his brave efforts, ran to him,
and loosening the sodden clothing
about his neck and chest as best she
might, chafed his hands a~nxiously.
