The situation W. becoming serious.
for the guards cared little what bsfell
us. whom 0irty. accompanied by thrss
Wyandot chiefs and Z white man in
British uniform. fought passage
through the crowd. and BY threats and
blows, won way for vs. through tho
village. The extsnt q this surprised
me. and gave me q new conception Of
the power Of those northwest IAdian
tribes. There were hundreds. perhaps
thousands. gathered there. for We only
traversed one end Of the encampment,
the warriors Of tribes whose homes
were - far away - the great lakes
and the big rivers. There were few
wiswams erected. not moro than two
or three standing in the shadow Of
trees close beside the river. Big -
the encampment was. 1t was no permA-
nent village, but : mere rendezvous
for the various tribes allied for war.
To one Of these, covered with desfskin
and rendered hidsous by tribal totems.
We were taken, and thrust within. A.,
last we were alone, Brady and /, n
though We could stu hear the yelling
without. He lay exteAded on bis lit
ter, and dropped to the ground, thor
oughly exhausted from the rough buf-
feting through which had passed.
