CHAPTER 4: SAFE AGAIN

The Mohicans appeared after they killed a Huron to save Heyward. Now they were four Hurons against three Mohicans and one English. All of them fought for a while. Finally, the Mohicans thought that Chingachgook had killed Magua, but he was still alive. Magua ran off to the forest. The Mohicans and the English decided to move off towards Fort William Henry.

They arrived to an old wooden house in the middle of the forest. They stayed there for rest and hide the Hurons. Magua and his tribe came near to the house, but the representative stones of death kept away them from the hiding place because they feared the ghosts. 

Later, when the Hurons weren’t, they continued to the Fort. They arrived but the Fort William henry’s soldiers didn’t know who they were, so they shot them. In spite of this, Cora and Alice could cry their father and he realized that the Mohicans and the English weren’t a threat. General Munro opened the door for his daughters and friends.
