CHAPTER XI.
MARGARET GODFREY'S FAREWELL.
The widowed squaw and the two pale-faced women were the last to leave Paul's late camping ground.

As they were pushed off into the stream by Jim Newall, who with another Indian paddled them back to the settlement, Margaret saw the other canoes, nine in number, going up the river.

In the twilight she watched them, and it came to her mind that when Paul Guidon saw the porpoises at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy coming toward the sloop, he was not to be blamed for thinking they were canoes.

She remarked to Mrs.Fowler those canoes resemble, at first sight, porpoises on the Atlantic Ocean.
When they arrived at the settlement Little Mag was taken to the home of the Lesters.

As she sat down in one of the small, unfurnished rooms, she rested her head upon her hands and bitterly sobbed.
