der gofernor Peter Corlaer tried once
too often to get der Joke back on Jon
calre.”
With which sage comment, Peter
took himself off to arrange with the
post commandant for drawing certain
supplies we, should require for this
new expedition.
Two hours later an express left
Oswego with dispatches for Governor
Burnet, describing the situation at
Jagara and our experiences at La
Vierge du Bois, as well as Lhe passage
of Joucaires argosy of furs, the great
est haul which had so fur been made
by either country that year on the
frontier. Before the gale was slamiund
shut again we three slipped out and
waver! good by to the garrison on the
walls.
Our advance was cautious, and we
parted company with Cérlaer in some
bushes, whence we could distinguish
figures dancing around the flames and
hear the distant yells of ♦.he guests of
Joncalre as they euroused on his
brandy. The Dutchman stripped to
his belt. Ta-wan-ne-ars relived him
of his musket, powder horn and bullet
pouch, and 1 shouldered his clothes
and pack.
“By der blasted pine—a goodt mile
beyondt der other side," whispered
Peter as he waded into the water.
“You are sure you can stay afloat
so long?” I asked with some mis
giving.
“Ja," he said scornfully. "When
you hear a noise like a fish rising
three times, that is Peter.”
He settled ktdfe and tomahawk
against either tldgh, slung a spare
flask of powder beside them, sank for
ward to his chin and began to cleave
the water with powerful, overhand
strokes.
"We must hurry, brother," admon
ished Ta-wan-ne-ars.
He started off at right angles with
the path we had been following, and
we fetched a circle around the group
of fires, coming ultimately to a high
point above the shore half a mile be
yond them. Here we rested, both be
cause our weurlness was very great
and because we desired to witness
Peter's exploit, amt, if need be, be
prepared to aid him.
It was past midnight, and the fires
had burned low and the brandy drink
ers soaked themselves stupid. Not a
sound came to us, except for the call
ing of a wolf from the heavy timber
inshore aud the croaking of water-
birds.
'Twas Ta-wan-ne-ars' eagle vision
which saw the danger signal. He
gripped my arm.
"Look, brother,” he hissed.
I looked, und a flame spurted up
ward between the fires and the water.
There was a sharp explosion. A long
minute elapsed, und then a chorus of
excited yells rose, dropped aud was
sustained.
We listened for ten minutes, and
whilst the. yelling continued, with in
termittent shooting, there was nothing
to indicate triumph or sutisfuctlon.
In the meantime: the flames which
Peter hnd kindled, after flourishing
grandly, gradually died out as the
awakened savages' retrieved those
canoes which.had.not caugiif fire and
threw wnter on such as were only
smoldering.
Half an hour passed uneventfully.
Then the steady lapping of the wajer
uguinst the beach was disturbed by the
splash a fish makes in risiqg. It was
repeated twice. Ta-wan-ne-ars leaned
over and splashed the water thrice
with his hand. A grunt boomed out
of the darkness. Ripples spread in a
widening circle, aud a huge form
stepped noiselessly ashore, ignoring
our helping hands.
"Oof, that was a goodt Joke on Jon-
caire," muttered Peter. "Some canoes
1 smash with der ax andt some I blow
up with der powder andt more are
burnedt. Where are my clothes? 1
am soaked like der muskrat.”
"You were long in coming," said Ta
wan-ne-ars. “My brother is not
hurt ?”
“Neln. neln. Ooof, what a swim! I
tell you I hafe bubbles under my
skin! Ja!”
"Did you damage them much?" I
asked eagerly.
Peter suspended the operation of
struggling into his shirt und chuckled
shrilly.
“I would gife much to see der face
of that Joncalre when he counts Ills
canoes andt der fur packs he has left.
Twice now we get der Joke ou him.”
Wet as he was, with the water drip
ping from Ills lank hair, he insisted
upon quitting that dangerous locality
at once. We tramped across country
until the sun was high, and we slum
