■With the rude rites peculiar to savage people, her

r I,r a drunken revolt so that by midnight, every
*’ warrior was lying extended, insensate and asleep;
but the weather was too boisterous yet «o allow

t j her teat, und having cut Wallace’s cords, pre

of nuivors to her bn.-fc, with a bow iu her baud,
o l led "fallow." Sho led him to a light ruuuuig
canoe in the (-reek id front of tho encamp.neut,
'ttuti bade him stay there till she went hack, and
took a farewell of the Karanquas. “h'or : hea
ven’s sake," he entreated, "do not veuture—it
' tnav cost yonr life,—but, if go you will, 1 must
bo with you."—"Sit down, mailman; (sho com.-
upuidcd:) your honvy ti-cad might awoken the

Vour safety require* that the fleetest and fiercest
should bleed. Had the whole tribe but tfnc heart,
I would pierce it for your sake.”—She went; aud
gliding from tent to teat like tho fiend ofaSsasti-
nation, loft fifteen barriors dead. Their limbs
-quivered-fur au iustaut, but not a groan or a sigh
was breathed. "It is done" sho whispered on
-entering the boat; nud seating herself, premouisb-
ed, "lako heed lest you strike the Side of the ca
noe, or splash water with the paddle, till we reach
tins Bay." They were soou there; aud, with the
swiftness of o shark, came to its head, aud darted
up the Trinity. Above, about fifty miles by laud,
stood bn the western hauk, a village of Casuch.is,
a piople v.ry friendly to the 'whites, and with
whom Wallace was will acquainted. There he
was sure of a hearty welcome, aud in tbatdirae-
tinn, was certain, the Karanquas would pursue.
Tho stream now becoming swift aud Crooked, ho
landed on the eastern side, thinking it proliablo
that chase woatd be Even oiithe other. By the
nar» hi, course was directed, till day, aud llicu by
the sun; but owing to tho svettibss uf the 'ground,
the depth of the rivulets and brooks, aud his still'-
oosi from having beou hound, togeghw with the
fact that seamen are seldom good walkers, lie
had, hy noou, not progressed morn than thirty
miles, a little over-half of the journey. Yet he
was so exhausted, that rest Was iudupensable—
•ud Atsbah the more readily yielded to his iudi-
natinu, frbm her knowledge of tho fact; that the
Karauquns randy exposed themselves so far ill-
laud to the fire-arms of the mounted Indiaus. At
her instance, they went to the margiu of the river,
aud made a green couch in a brake of palmottoes,
having-betwoon the stalks a viow ot tho reach
below. Wallace felt happy in tho arms of Al-
iliah, endeared to him by so many evidences of
unparalleled devotion, and the suushiuo of her
happiness was interrupted ouly by oue cloud, the
apprehension of the hnvages. Sleep soou cauie
over ban, but sho kept watch.
When i sun had about three hours passed
tlv xcnilii, she suddenly shook him, whispering,
•’they como, l" -- they come." He discovered
thorn, five cam.*- ds paddi • ' against the current
ns if th«y iutondud to land at the very brake that
concealed him. “1 enu fire thrice, Atsbah, be
fore they land. Each hall will bung dowu otic,
aud tile buckshot are good for tho two others.".—
"No, dearest, ou,'.‘ she. replied—"the Karanquas

Jipou us by the report. Arrows aud this covert
must secure 'these. Tito bow speaks not to the

Tbesr object iu landing was.w communicate with
a party oo jsliurc, who, having at eu early hour
ascertained the bank txkeu by the fugitives, were

‘a very important affair. The loss of thirty-seven

muster more that uiucty, caused its extermination,
which hud long boon desired, to m considered os
of easy accomplishment—ospecinlly, as waiting
for the return of tho warriors detached after life
fugitives would delay removal; aud the boy at
tho western cud of tbe Llaud afforded at low wa
ter u ready, passage on horseback, the swimming
part being not more than one hundred yard* over.
Two huudred mounted vvarrriors volunteered
their services, nnd iuvited Wallace to command.
Atsbah urged him to go, observing, that the Ka-
rnu’qua men, being irreclaimable, ought to dir,
hut thu women uhd children should be saved: for
it were hotter to be h Casacba’s slave than to
have a Karauqutv husband or father. The expe
dition the next moruiug set out, and crossed that
uigbt to thp island, without losing a horse or wet-
tiugaguu. A party was immediately'detached
to seize the canoes aud bring them round to the
west end. It was effected without'tho lou of a
mail.,- Jly dawn, the Casuchas approached the
tents with a shout. The Karnuqu^t, nothing
daunted, •allied odt nud pressed the invaders,
whs slowly and purjtosoiy retreated more than a
mile, when they fired. Keeping iust behind the
reach of the arrows, the Cusnchas kept Op a
running fire until the last Karunqua fell. Two
huudred nnd forty-twoWomen nud children were
captured; nud ou being assured that their lives
were to he spared,, they embarkei’ apparently
without reluctance. By noon, under the super-
intcndeoce of fourguard’boats, they wero ascend
ing tho Trinity, uut n vestige of tneir camp tiicn
remaining on the island. On the fourth evening,
they were-landed at tho Casacha village, nnd in
