Twelve dusky savages bounded into the air, and fell dead upon the blood-stained snow.
Crack-crack-crack! The affrighted Indians had faced round only to meet another volley from the intrepid little band behind.

The prowess of the Rangers was well known from one end of the lake to the other.

To be hemmed in between two companies was more than Indian bravery or Indian stoicism could stand.

With yells of terror they dropped their arms and fled to the forest, followed by a fierce firing from both parties, which made great havoc in their ranks.

The rout was complete and instantaneous.
