Promises were cheap with the Indian, and he showered them outby the dozen, continuing all the while to advance with extended hands and a writhing grinupon his countenance, which was intended for a smile of courtesy. Seizing Kentons hand,he grasped it with violence.

The ume who had justapproached him, then seized him by the hair, and shook him until his teeth ratted, while the restof the party coming up, they all fell upon Kenton with their tongues and ramrods, until hethought they would scold or beat him to death.
