Now that Injun crowd hez drawed off to the east, an' I think we've seed the last o' them, while the Spaniards, thinkin' they've had enough o' excitement, will keep straight on to New Or-lee-yuns." "I've no doubt you're right," said Henry, "and we'll follow to-night.
We'll let them take a good start." They watched the little fleet until it passed out of sight down the river and then returned to their own boat.
