They are a nest of snakes whom I will utterly destroy. - Ha! who is this ?\ The entranca of the wigwam was dark- ened by the form of a tall and slender Indian who made a sign of deference to Sassacus as he entered. Well, said the chief, ' how soon will they be here ?' © Chief, replied the Narragansett, 'the blaek-coat whom the Y¥engecse drove a- way, had a talk with the chief of the Narragangetts, and made his heart soft.\ < Ha ? .

CHAPTER IL Roger Williams, it was indeed, as the runner had asserted whose influence had prevented the Mohegans and the Narra- gansetts from joining the league. He had returned the persecutions of his en- emies by preserving them from destruc- tion. Not contented with this, he had despatched a messenger to inform them of the plot, and to urge them to prepare for a contest with Sassacus. No little alarm was manifested among the calonists at James river on the re- ceipt of this intelligence. A meeting wat hastily called, whereat the matter was fully discussed. It was found on inves- tigation, that only about one hundred men could be spared for military operations; and doubt was manifested as to the prop- er course to be pursued. Some were for abandoning the settlement, and falling back to a stronger poiat; and others for awaiting-the attack of the enemy. But a bolder proposition was at length carried, and it was determined to attack and de- stroy the Pequod village on that very night. Every man was accordingly mus- tered, and the command conferred upon Captain John Mason. It was late in the afternoon when this determination was arrived at; and b nightfall every man was armed and met with his fellows. About twenty were de- stroyed to guard the settl-ment ; the re- mainder were set in motion towaid the Pequod village. Toward this point the assailants advanced swiftly and silently ; and arrived at its outskirts about two hours 'before daybreak. The village, formed by the collection lof about two hundred lodges in an open {ring, and approached the doomed. Mohawks. - The setting sun was throw- ing his last rays over the tree tops, on The lodges of the tribe. - In the centre was an open space, where stood a paint- ed post, around which, at some distance were arranged piles of brush-wood. Out- side of these were gathered a number of warriors, in their war paint; and mingled with them were squaws and papooses. % was evidently the occasion of some im- portant savage ceremony. Presently from the largest wigwam came forts-six old warriors, in whose midst was an unarmed man of a different dress and appearance from the rest.- The appearance of this body was the sig- nal for a general yel{of triumph and ex« [ ecration. The captive was led to the post; but not bound. ° Then commenced all the exciting, but disgusting ceremo- nies of an aboriginal execution. f The boys of the village began to show their skill in archery, by shooting as near as possible to.#he captive without absolutely killing Biffa abetted and en- couraged in this amusement by the cries of their mothers. '\;The latter all the while poured out up'cfizltheir victim all the most cutting and 'Uegrading epithets which savago wit and ' hatred could in- vent. - But trifles like this could not af- fect the constancy of the captive, who stood firm, a change passing over his ap- parantly imm§vable features. A short stout savage left the outer He surveyed the latter cautionsgly, a sneer- 'ing smile playing at the same Aime upon his features. FR 'Pequod,' said he; 'you are the son of a dog.

''They conld not stand before Tetwa,' was the reply. always run away so fast that the feet of my young mon could never overtake him.' 'There was a smothered laugh at this retort, for Tetwa had not the reputation of being the bravest of the Mohawks. But it only rendered him more fero- cious. 'The Pequods are cowards,\ cried he. 'Tetwa has three of their sealps.' 'Yes,\ was the reply, 'we missed them from the heads of three old squaws, who went to sleep in the woods one day,over- come by fire-water.' A loud shout greeted this, for every one was aware of its truth, and Tetwa shrank back abashed. A taller chief took his place. < Pequod,' said the new tormenter, 'how comes it you are here? Sassacus told his cople that he would drive them from the land as the wind drives the clouds from the sky, The sky is black around us,' continued he, pomnting to the assem- bled multitude.
