Adventures of James Smith. 
His Capture by a Tribe of Indians in Pennsylvania 
From “American Adventure by Land and Sea.” 
Continued from page 1007. 
At 10 o’clock, Smith had dropped consider¬ 
ably behind, and before eleven, Tontileaugo and 
the horses were out of sight. The Indian kept 
close at their heels and allowed them no time for 
rest. Smith, naked as he was, and glowing with 
exercise, threw himself upon the hard snow, and 
having cooled himself in this manner, he re¬ 
mained stationary until 3 o’clock in the afternoon, 
when the horses again came in view, their flanks 
smoking like a seething kettle and Tontileaugo 
close behind them, running with undiminished 
speed. Smith being now refreshed, struck in 
ahead of Tontileaugo, and compelled the horses 
to quicken their speed, while his Indian brother 
from behind, encouraged him to do his utmost, 
shouting, “Chako! chokoa-nough !” which was as 
much as to say, “Pull away, my hearty !” 
Had Tontileaugo rested and committed the 
chase to Smith alone for some hours, and then, 
in his turn, relieved him, they might have suc¬ 
ceeded ; but neglecting this plan, they both con¬ 
tinued the chase until nightfall, when, perceiving 
that the horses ran still with great vigor, they 
despaired of catching them, and returned to the 
camp’, having tasted nothing since morning, and, 
one of them at least having run about one hun¬ 
dred miles. Tontileaugo was somewhat crest¬ 
fallen at the result of the race, and grumbled 
not a little; but Smith assured him, that they 
had attempted an impossibility, and he became 
reconciled to their defeat. 
The discipline exercised by the Indians over 
their children is not remarkably strict. Whip¬ 
ping is rare with them, and is considered the 
most disgraceful of all punishments. Ducking 
in cold water is the ordinary punishment for 
misbehavior; and, as might be expected, the 
children are more obedient in winter than in 
summer. Smith, during his first winter’s resi¬ 
dence among them, was an eyewitness to a cir¬ 
cumstance, which affords a lively example of 
Indian manners. His brother, Tontileaugo, was 
married to a Wyandot squaw, who had had sev¬ 
eral children by a former husband. One of these 
children offended his stepfather in some way, 
who, in requital, gave him the “strappado,” with 
a whip made of buffalo hide. 
The discipline was quite moderate, but the lad 
shouted lustily, and soon brought out his Wyan¬ 
dot mother. She instantly took the child’s part 
with great animation. It was in vain that the 
husband explained the offense, and protested that 
he had inflicted a very moderate punishment. 
All would not do. “The child,” she said, “was

St. John’s beautiful book. The volume is one of the 
very handsome publications of Mr. David Douglas, of 
Edinburgh, Scotland, and in a general way, though 
larger, resembles Mr. Charles Whitehead’s “Camp Fires 
of the Everglades.” It is a luxurious book, full of 
beautiful illustrations, and was published at £2 10s. We 
can send this book, express paid, for $10.25. It will 
make a beautiful Christmas gift. 
FOREST AND STREAM PUBLISHING CO. 
ROWLAND E. ROBINSON’S 
Danvis Books. 
These books have taken their place as classics in the 
literature of New England village and woods life. Mr. 
Robinson’s characters are peculiar, quaint and lovable; 
one reads of them now with smiles and now with tears 
(and need not be ashamed to own to the tears). Mr. 
Robinson writes of nature with marvelous insight; his is 
the ready word, the phrase, to make a bit of landscape, a 
scene of outdoors, stand out clear and vivid like a 
startling flashing out from the reader’s own memory.
