I really feel well this morning, remarked Howe,

The white chief has dreamed,

I believe I did dream a curious dream last night, said Howe.
gpt
It seemed as though I stood on a precipice looking calmly on the plain below, when an eagle came down, and taking me in his talons, carried me to his eyrie, which seemed to be perched on a mountain whose summit passed the clouds; and there, oh! horror, a hundred eaglets with open mouths stood ready to devour me. Then it seemed as if a heavy cloud passed by, and with a fearful leap I sprang upon it and floated through the sky until it began gradually to grow thinner and thinner and I lay unsupported in mid-air. Then I began to sink, first slowly, but gradually increasing in velocity until I seemed to go swifter than the wind, and at every moment expected to be dashed to pieces. But as I neared the earth I began to descend slower; when, lo! I softly alighted at the door of our camp, and there I found Duncan and Lewis.

Really, Whirlwind, it is as absurd as singular, remarked Edward,

The brave is young, and cannot interpret the signs of the presence of the Great Spirit. His children know him better, and recognize his teaching.
gpt
Oh! well, chief, I hope he is in earnest now, at least, and will succeed in getting us out of the clutches of these promising children of his,

Then the young brave must not anger him,

I should like to know how far we are from camp, and how much farther they intend taking us,

Their village is half a day's march to the setting sun, replied Whirlwind,
