I don't think we need be afraid about the powder, said Henry. Whatever happens, Sol and Tom will protect it, even if their own bodies suffer. Then I'm thinkin' they'll have to do a lot of protectin', said Long Jim. The wind is blowin' plum' horizontal, an' the rain is sweepin' 'long in sheets. Henry, despite his consoling words, was very anxious. Since their great battle with the invading Indian force and the destruction of the cannon, their supply of ammunition had run very low, and without powder and bullets they were lost in the wilderness. He walked to the narrow entrance of the cave, and, standing just where the rain could not reach him, looked out upon the cold and dripping forest, a splendid figure clothed in deerskin, specially adapted in both body and mind to wilderness life. He saw nothing but the foliage bending before the wind and the chill sheets sent down by the clouds. The somber sky and the desolation would not have made him feel lonely, even had he been without his comrades. He had faced primeval nature too often and he knew it too well to be overcome or to be depressed by any of its dangers.
