They come," said Tayoga at length.
Presently a slight sound as of long, easy strokes reached them all, and in a few moments a line of dark heads appeared through the mists and vapors.

Then the Mohawks swam to land, carrying their rifles and ammunition, Daganoweda's too, on their heads, and stood up in a silent and dripping line before their chief.
"It is well," said Daganoweda, looking them over with an approving eye.

"You are all here, and we fight in the next battle beside our white brothers." "A battle that you would be loath to miss and right glad we are to welcome such sturdy help," said the voice of Willet behind them.

"I'll tell Captain Colden that you're here." The young captain came at once, and welcomed Daganoweda in proper dignified fashion.

Blankets and food were given to the Mohawks, and they ate and warmed themselves by the fire.
