as there were in my camp a few men iand wo- 
men of his horde who had attended him, I or- 
dered thefe alfo to remove immediately. They 
went and joined him, while I led the old Ca- 
minouqua to my tent, to drefs his wounds and 
take care of him*. I faw the monfter with- 
draw with his people to the diftarlce of four 
or five hundred paces from us, and flop there 
to pafs the night. 
The propinquity of fuch a tnatl was an 
alarming circumftance ; and I could not fee 
his apparent refolve to remain fo near me with- 
out uneafinefs. No adVion that fubferves his 
vengeance comes amifs to a villain. Bernfry 
took with him a buflfaloe's horn full of powder, 
which I had given him for the chace, and I 
had reafon to apprehend he would make ufe 
of it to injure us. My people, though de- 
lighted at being rid of him, and applauding my 
feverity, which they confidered as an aft of 
kindnefs towards them, feared from him, 
equally with me, fome nodurnal treachery.
