Where are my friends?
gpt
At the Block House, sir, and very anxious concerning you. They have not long been in, but Nick Stoner is all for going back to Summer House to discover your whereabouts, and has been beating up recruits for a flying scout.
human
Where have you been, John Drogue?
gpt
Is Penelope safe?
human
She is as safe as are any here in Mayfield. Is it Summer House that burns in the north, or only the marsh hay?
gpt
The whole place is afire, said I.
human
A dozen green-coats, blue-eyed Indians, and two real ones, burnt Fish House and attacked us at Summer House. I saw and knew Jock Campbell, Henry Hare, Billy Newberry, Barney Cane, Eli Beacraft, and George Cuck. My Saguenay mortally wounded Jock. He's lying on the road. He tomahawked a Canienga, too, and took his scalp and another's.
gpt
Did _you_ mark any of the dirty crew?
human
I shot Beacraft and one Mohawk. How many are we at the Block House?
gpt
A full company to hold it safe, said he, gloomily.
human
Do you know that Fonda's Bush is burning?
gpt
Yes.
human
Who commands here? I think we ought to move toward Johnstown this night. I don't know how many green-coats have come to the Sacandaga, but it must have been another detachment that is burning Fonda's Bush.
