"Ah! Ah! So I was not deceived; this hill is indeed the Rincón del Bosquecillo?"
"That is the name which the palefaces call it."
"Very well, I am charmed to know it with certainty. You say then, chief, that the captains are coming to meet us?"
"You see that dust?" resumed the Indian; "It is raised by the hasty feet of the captains' horses."
"If it is so, captain, I shall be obliged to you, captain, to inform me what I ought to do."
"Nothing. Wait and respond to the friendly reception of the captains when they arrive."
"That is what I will do with pleasure. By the way, I avail myself of the opportunity of thanking you personally, captain, for the honour with which your companion and you have guided us hitherto."
"We have accomplished our duty; the pale chief; does not owe us any thanks."
"However, captain, honour compels me to acknowledge the loyalty with which you have acquitted yourselves of this duty."
"Tarou Niom and his brother I-me-oh-eh are Guaycurus captains; treachery is unknown to them."
