CHAPTER 9: MAGUA, HURON CHIEF

The Hurons saw that Uncas had escaped. They also helped Magua, who had ropes around his ankles and wrists and a gag. Magua was furious. Hurons realized that the medicine man and the Mohicans cheated him. They decided to attack them and Magua led them in the battle.

Hurons went to Delaware camp, who were allies of French but with Hurons were enemies. The Mohicans and the British were in this camp and Hurons knew it. After a conversation between Magua and Delaware chiefs, Hawk-eye, Heyward and the two sisters were brought out of the hut, where they hid them. Magua wanted to kill Hawk-eye. But Cora tried to reason with a Delaware chief persuading him to help them against the Hurons.
