Tom Ross was awake, but the other two slumbered peacefully on.

They told Tom what they had seen, and he told them the identity of the terrible woman.
"I heard about her at Pittsburgh, an' I've heard tell, too, about her afore I went to Kentucky to live.

She's got a tre-men-jeous power over the Iroquois.

They think she ken throw spells, an' all that sort of thing-an' mebbe she kin." Two nights later it was Henry and Tom who lay in the thickets, and then they saw other formidable arrivals in the Indian camp.

Now they were white men, an entire company in green uniforms, Sir John Johnson's Royal Greens, as Henry afterward learned; and with them was the infamous John Butler, or "Indian" Butler, as he was generally known on the New York and Pennsylvania frontier, middle-aged, short and fat, and insignificant of appearance, but energetic, savage and cruel in nature.
