"I presume the Shawanoes are in charge of The Panther."
"So Daniel Boone tells us."
"I feared as much; I'm glad that Boone is with you."
"And so is Kenton."
"Yes; I recognized his voice; he seems to be a little disturbed by the appearance of our craft."
"I never knew it was possible for a man like him to become so frightened. He seems to have lost his wits."
"They will soon return to him; he's a noble fellow."
"Jes' let me know what you want done," remarked Jethro Juggens, who had placed the anchor so as to hold the flatboat motionless; "don't forget dat I fixed up dis yer contrivance."
"Yes, all the credit belongs to him. He will explain when there is time; we have not a minute to spare now; it looks as if the appearance of the boat has given the red men, as well as the others, a scare."
"No doubt of that, and Kenton's performance has had a good deal to do with it, for he upset our people completely."
