The Texan Scouts

CHAPTER VI

But what we're here for is to stop that little game of theirs.

The flight of the arrers enables us to locate the spot from which they come an' there we'll find the Comanches." They crept toward the point from which the lighted arrows were flying, and peering; from the thicket saw a score or more of Comanches gathered in the bushes and under the trees.

One of the Tennesseans, seeking a better position, caused a loud rustling, and the alert Comanches, instantly taking alarm, turned their attention to the point from which the sound had come.
"Fire, boys! Fire at once!" cried the Panther.
A deadly volley was poured into the Comanche band.

The Indians replied, but were soon compelled to give way.

The Panther, raising his voice, shouted in tremendous tones: "Rescue! Rescue! We're here, boys!" The defenders of the cabin, hearing the volleys and the shouts of their friends, opened the door and rushed out of the cabin, rifle in hand.
Caught between two forces, the Comanches gave up and rushed to the plain, where they had left their ponies.
