Страница 155 - Kennan could not increase nor his adversary diminish. Each for the time put his whole soul into the race. Kennan, as far as he was able, kept • his eye upon the motions of his pursuer, lest he should throw the tomahawk, which he held aloft in a menacing attitude, and at length, finding that no other Indian was immediately at hand, he determined to try the mettle of his pursuer in a different manner, and felt for his tomahawk in order to turn at bay.
