Ke-ne-ha-ha at once called a council of his principal warriors.
By the time the council had assembled, the party that had pursued the Wolf Demon returned and told of their failure to trace the terrible being through the forest.
Calmly the chief addressed the council.
He told of the dreadful hand-to-hand encounter that he had had with the white man’s devil. Declared that the charm was broken, and that the Wolf Demon no longer was to be feared.
The warriors took heart at the bold address of the great chief.
Then Ke-ne-ha-ha urged the necessity of making an immediate attack upon the white settlements along the Ohio.
In this the chief was supported by every warrior within the council. All were eager for the attack. All thirsted for the blood of the white-skins.
The council broke up, and earnestly the warriors donned their war-paint in readiness for the coming fight.
It was arranged that the expedition was to start on the morrow, and that Point Pleasant should be the first station attacked.
Girty and Kendrick had been in the council, and on its breaking up, walked slowly along together.
