Young Lion of the Woods

CHAPTER V
6/15

The King's schooner was soon to sail for Passmaquaddy.

Captain Godfrey, his wife and children went on board the schooner to bid Paul farewell.

They found it hard to do so, especially Mrs.Godfrey.Paul Guidon had no idea that he was to be separated from the family he loved.

He thought they were going to return to the St.John soon again.
As the Godfreys left the side of the King's schooner to return to the shore, the "Young Lion of the Woods," (for such was the name given to the Iroquois by the naval officers at Halifax) would not let go of Mrs.
Godfrey's hand.

He gently pulled her back and said, "I may never see you again, I want to speak to you alone." They went into the cabin, and there the Indian poured out the agonies of his soul.
