Early in the morning after his arrival home he set out for Grimross Neck, crossing the lake where the sloop lay.

When he arrived at Grimross he saw nothing but blackened ruins, and was convinced the Indian's story was true.

He saw also the dead bodies of the three Indians, he could not recognize them, they were so cooked by the fire.

He walked about the ruins, almost bewildered, and swearing vengeance.

Not many steps from where the house had stood were dense woods.
