Three days later
the tragedy, the Mohicans, Heyward, Hawk-eye and Munro tried to find Cora and
Alice. In the forest they found a moccasin, Gamut’s book and one earring.
Because of the different tracks and signals, Chingachgook deduced that Magua had
captured the girls and the sing teacher was with them.
They returned to
the ruins of the fort to rest for a while. The next morning they were down the lake
into a canoe. When they came near to the Hurons, they saw a fire in an island.
The tribe heard them and they started to shoot. Hawk-eye, with his rifle, reached
some of them. But, in a short time, a lot of Hurons’ canoes appeared. The
Mohicans, Heyward, Hawk-eye and Munro landed at the edge of the lake
and they hid the canoe and went into the forest.
