Who have you been pursuing?
A girl that was captured by the Indians in the Delaware Valley.
How came your dog to leave you?
I think he scented the girl on the island and went to rescue her. Perhaps the same party that stole the Delaware girl captured the girl you refer to. If so, no time should be lost. We should go to the island immediately.
Then proceed at once, said the Captain.
The boat was manned, and proceeded toward the island.
Soon after the boat left, the doctor went to the cabin, where he found Captain Davis and wife.
Captain, said the doctor, the old Indian that was brought on board is anxious to see you, and requested me to ask you to come to his quarters.
I have other duties to perform at present, he said.
