_tlt"a? "point. There was but one apartment
‘Tn the-structure, and that without ceiling’ or
Vralll. A rude stone chimfney, plastered
with creek mud occa-pied almost the whole
of the s’id'e‘tow8i‘ds the water, opposite to
‘whi"3h‘itpoh ilie floor were spread the hard
couches of Sassoinocaiid Nattick.

It was nearly sunset of the day in which
the e‘ve'ri‘ls-uarrated in the previous chapters
took place. Upon a bench near, the cabin
‘out the elder Indian smoking silently, while

at a little distance from him stood his‘ son

engaged in c_leansing_ his musket For
some time neither of them spoke,till at length

:Natti'cl-I-,haVin’g‘ finished his task, entered

"the door and dcposfiin‘§' his weapon, returned
and standing ata ‘little distance from his
father, gazed listlessly out upon the waters
of _the Sound. “Suddenl y soinethinfi appear-
ediloi-cibly to attract his attention, for, with
‘a quick exclamation, he started, and raising
his hand to his forehead, directed It keen,
anxious look towards the woody crest of an
lsltinfl ttlbtfiit a mile distant,

“F-I"-l'l1l9|'i”S=ll<l he, in the now forgotten
tofigtie of the Pcqirots, “there is a winged
canoe upon the water beyond the Far Island
(for such was the meaning of the aboriginal
word tipp*.i'e‘t3 to what is now termed Goose
:lsland)—‘"-"‘noiv the trees have hidden it from
my sight.”

“The Sea gull deceives the eyes of Nat-
tick,” said the other, without lhovitig, “no
boat of the State would dare 'g'o ‘out into the
‘open waters.” Sas's’omoc was 8. friend of
the Americans, and even he would have
scorned to use the term "Ci.-lony longer.

“Nattick saw the wing of the canoe tlhro’
the trees, though he sees it not now; but,
wagh! a little canoe with oars goes from
this direction at the big cit-.t-ii’: toward the TS-
turd-. The English are upon the Sound and
‘the rower is a spy l”

Sauomoc now arose and bent his sharp",
glance upon the new object which had at-
tracted the attention of Natiick. As the lat-
‘ter had said in the distance a skiff was seen
propelled rapi'dly by a single 0-ursman in
the (llfeclltm of the lelfintl hetiiiiu tvlilcll the

~ younger Iizdian had caught the glimpse of

the soils of it strange vessel.

“Get rciady the canoe,” said Sassomoc,
l‘ if he aitteriipt to return, he must be taken.”
A few steps brought Nattick to the water
side where drawn up, on the beach-, was an
Indian canoe ; one oi the old stamp, ho].
lowecloutof the trunk of a single tree.—-
The canoe was speedily launched and Sas-
sémoc was bringing the oars, in his hands,
from the cabin, when the attention of the
two was attracted by tho appfiarauce of 3

- horseman rapidly approaching the Inlet, up-

on the opposite side.

_ “Ugh !” exclaiinee Nntticlr, .“Captain Bar;
ton !” The young soldier dashed into the
water-, and soon was on the bank by the side
of the Indians.

“Where now, Sassomoc ?” inquired he,
“do you fish to night? I had expected to be
here sooner; but was detained at the Bridge
whither I went after leaving Mr. Grail ’s.”"

“Sassonioc will not fish to -night,” said

»3l1° India", “but there is a sail vessel behind

the Far lslimd; flild yonder see a boat goes
<55! l9 lfléil ltd’ The officer started and ga-
zed eagerly for a moment at the’ woody crest
of the Island; then he looked anxiously at
the skill; which had now almost reached its
destination and exclaimed with animation,
“by h8nVens,Stissomoc,- it is a spy, and I
have a shrewd guess "who it is. Let us watch
and if he attentpt to’ return, let him get so
far towards the mouth of the river that you
‘can intercept his retreat to his cb'iil'ede‘ratés

‘while I will ride along the beach and pre:

vent his landing on the shore at least.--
Then with your canoe you can easily oval.
take him ” - '
 “G000,” said the Indian, but, Captain
Harry it would be well fut‘ you to fasten
your horse among the trees that he mav not
be seen on the return of the spy. ‘You
must have been noticed as you rode alorig
the beach, and unless it is believed that you
have passed on, the man we pursue will not
attempt a return:” i“

‘The idea is gt50tl,lS8l(_l Barton, ‘at the
[same time leading the animal forward and
complying with the suggestion. The skill‘
had now disappeared behind the Island. For
nearly half an hour did the three wait in
silence for its reappearance. The Sun had
set, and the twilight was fast stealing over
-the water: when the quick eye of Nattick,
again caught the glimpse of a sail through
the topsof the evergreens that then covet-eil
the Island which concealed the enem'y_ In
a moment longer the others saw the same
object,and Barton exclaimed “ he will boot;
lppear now.” Scarcely had he uttered
these words when the skiff was seen, roun-
ding a sandy point, and then swiftly propel-
led by asingle rower in the directioii of
Gregory’: Point. Nattick started forward,
but 30 -Wlltorative gesture from StlS90m0c
Y98U'8'lP‘!ed him. The party remained almost
motionless for some minutes longer, when
the elder Indian said, “ not: Captain Harry
Nattle-k, and I will go first. It be” point-‘
ing to the distant skiff, “if he attempt to
{street when he sees us" we will take him;
if hi Pull f0!'lh'e river you must cut him
off.” In another‘ in oment the canoe,impellet-l
by the nervous arms of both fath‘é'r and edit‘,
was shooting like an trfrow over the waters,
Captain Barton remained iinpa’tientiy' await-
iitg the time for him to act. “ it mttst but
that Clinton,” muttered he, “lcanuot tell
Certainly, it ill true, at this distance, but the

fizcl that it is be.” By this time, the spy,
if such ‘he was, had observed the canoe; for
a moment he paused, with lifted ours, as if
irresolute whether to fly or to proceed. It
was but a moment, and apparently coming
to a‘ decision, he pulled with renewed force
toward the mouth of the River. Barton
was in his saddle an‘d“acr‘t'iss't-‘tie 'i'nle’t, in an
i‘ns'tant, and spurring’ his steed he dashed

Whrletloing this he tostsight for a short time

shore at the i’oint,he saw the former at some
quarter of a mile distance, and the latter as
much farther on,ant'l in rapid pursuit. Sas-
