His friends were here — his girl-friend, his own brother's daughter, Rebekah Wells Heald, was here. The thought of their danger summoned him like the sound of a trumpet to share it. He came at the head of a band of thirty INIiami Indians, to guide, guard, help in every way the forlorn hope. It was too late to change the fatal plan, even if he would have tried to do so. He was a soldier, and obedience to orders was a part of his training.
Besides, he knew the Indians, and they knew and re- spect...ed him, and an expedition which would be desperate without his presence, might be changed by his help to a reasonable undertaking. If the v/hites had any friends amcng the reds, he would be at the head of those friends to lead them against the unfriendly.
How the hearts of the troubled little settlement must have bounded as they saw the help approaching ! Fancy the scene !
