Adventures of James Smith. 
His Capture by & Tribe of Indians in Pennsylvania 
From "American Adventure by Land and Sea.” 
Concluded from page 1047. 
£ The buffalo-herd passed within a few yards of 
him, so that he had an opportunity of selecting 
a fat heifer, which he killed at the first fire. He 
quickly struck fire from his flint, and cutting a 
few slices from the fleshiest part,. he laid them 
ij upon the coals, but could not wait until they 
were cooked. After gorging himself with raw 
beef, which, with the exception of the soup a la 
1 wildcat of the preceding night, he thought the 
most delicious meal he had ever tasted, he began 
to be tenderly concerned for the old man and 
the boy, whom he had left in a famishing con¬ 
dition at the wigwam. 
His conscience reproached him for leaving 
them to perish; and he instantly loaded himself 
heavily with the fattest and fleshiest pieces of 
the buffalo, and having secured the rest from 
the wolves, returned hastily homeward. It was 
late at night when he entered the wigwam. 
Tecaughnetanego received him with the same 
mild equanimity, which had hitherto distin¬ 
guished his manner, and thanked him very af- 
| fectionately for the exertions he had made. 
The eyes of the famished boy were fastened 
on the beef, as if he would devour it raw. His 
father ordered him to hang on the kettle, and 
[ cook some beef for them all; but Smith said 
that he himself would cook for the old man, 
while Nungany broiled some meat upon the 
coals for himself. The boy looked eagerly at 
his father for his consent, and receiving a nod 
in reply, he sprung upon the meat as a kite 
would pounce upon a pullet, and, unable to wait 
for the slow operation of the fire, began to eat 
it raw. 
Smith, in the meantime, had cut several very 
thin slices and placed them in the kettle to boil; 
but supposing Tecaughnetanego as impatient as 
he had been, he was about to take them off the 
fire before they were thoroughly cooked, when 
[. the old man, in a tone as calm and quiet as if he 
! had not fasted for three whole days, desired him 
to “let them be done enough.” At the same 
time he ordered Nungany, who was still eating 
like a shark, to take no more for the present, but 
to sit down, and, after a few minutes, he might 
sup a little broth. 
: The old man then reminded Smith of their 
conversation the night before, and of the accom¬ 
plishment of his assurance that Owaneeyo would 
provide for them in their extremity. At length 
he desired Smith to give him the beef, observing 
that it had been boiled enough; and, as if he had 
reserved all his appetite for that moment, he fell 
upon the food with a keenness and persever¬ 
ance, which showed that the gifts of Owaneeyo 
were appreciated. 
In the morning, Tecaughnetanego requested 
Smith to return to the spot where he had killed 
the buffalo, and bring in the rest of it to the 
camp. He accordingly took down his rifle and 
entered the wood, intending to hunt on the road. 
At the distance of a few miles from the camp, 
| he saw a large elm, which had been much 
scratched, and, perceiving a hole in it some forty 
feet from the ground, he supposed that a bear 
had selected it for his winter-quarters, and in¬ 
stantly determined to rouse him from his 
slumberg. 
With his tomahawk, he cut down a sapling 
which grew near the tree, in such a manner as 
to lodge it against the den. He then cut a long 
pole, and tied a few bunches of rotten wood to 
i the end of it. Taking it then in his hands, he 
; climbed the sapling, until he reached the moutn 
of the den; and setting fire to the rotten wood, 
put it into the hollow as far as he could reach. 
Poor Bruin soon began to sneeze and cough, 
I t as if in great trouble; and Smith, rapidly sliding 
\ down the sapling, seized his gun at the moment 
the bear showed himself. He instantly shot him, 
and having loaded himself with the hind 
1 quarters, he marched back in high spirits to the 
| wigwam. They were now well provided • with 
[j food for a week; and, in a few days, the snow 
thawed so as to render it easy to approach the
