,naoazina rifles. and ran Out to see what
the dan-e~ could be. Suddenly from the
near belt of trees there broke forth
grouo o. twelve or fifteen Indians, run
ming for their lives, and at their very

In shape they were like horrible toads,

We had never before seen them save at

animals save when disturbed in their

like iridc,ccnce, and the sunlight struck
them with an ever varying rainbow

We had little time to watch them,
however. for in an instant they had
overtaken the fugitives and were making
dire slaughter among them. Their
method was to fall forward with their
