      Guert had a willing auditor, in me; nor was Dirck at all backward about complying. The letters certainly much quickened our impulses; though, in fact, there remained nothing else to do; unless, indeed, we intended to lie out, exposed to all the risks of a vindictive and savage warfare. Dirck’s’ letter was from Herman Mordaunt; and it told the truth in plainer language than it had been related by either of the ladies. Here it is.

      “Dear Dirck,—The savages are certainly approaching us, my young kinsman; and it is for the good of us all to unite our forces. Come in, for God’s sake, with your whole party, as speedily as possible.

       I have had scouts out, and they have all come in with reports that the signs of trails, in the forest, abound. I expect, at least a hundred warriors will be upon us, by to-morrow, and am making my preparations accordingly. In approaching the Nest, I would advise you to enter the ravine north of the house, and to keep within its cover until you get to its southern termination. This will bring you within a hundred rods of the gate, and greatly increase your chances of entering, should we happen to be invested when you get here. God bless you, dear Dirck, and guide you all safely to your friends.

      “HERMAN MORDAUNT.

       “Ravensnest, July 11th, 1758.”

      Guert and I read this letter hastily, before we commenced our march. Then, abandoning the hut, and all it contained, to the mercy of any who might pass that way, we set off for our point of destination, on a quick step, carrying little besides our arms, ammunition, and the food that was necessary to assure our strength.

      As before, Trackless led, keeping the Jumper a little on his flank; the danger of encountering foes being now considered to be greatly increased. It was true, we were still in the rear of the party that had committed the deeds at Mooseridge; but the Onondago no longer followed its trail; pursuing a different course, or one that led directly to his object.
