when Indians threw tomahawk, and fired arrows at you?
when you come out Fort, and one arrow struck you in arm ?" Mrs.
Godfrey replied: "Paul, the mark of that arrow I shall carry with me to the grave." The Indian continued: "You and children been all dead now and buried near old Fort if Paul not been there; when you come out Fort, after Indians threat to burn Fort and all up, me saw you like spirit from some other land; you looked pale, and stood brave; you mind me put hand up and told Indians stand back.

Pale face and looked so brave, saved life and in boat too.

All squaws in woods none like you." Paul then relapsed into silence, and his head dropped forward.

You have been a good friend to us all; without your assistance I might never have been here to bid you good-bye.
