This caused such confusion among the others that the Indians became alarmed and sprang to their feet.

Carson and Godey emitted a series of yells that must have made the red men envious, and dashed at full speed toward the thirty Indians.

The moment they were within range, both fired.

Carson killed his man, but Godey missed.

The latter reloaded with great quickness and fired again, bringing down his man.
Meanwhile, the warriors were thrown into a sort of panic by the amazing audacity of their assailants.
