y suddenly saw the perfidious pirates bearing down upon them. Fell from their eyes then the film through which they had looked at victory. No more would they torture at the stake. For them the happy hunting-grounds now. They knew it; but as their fathers' sons they acquitted themselves. Even then they had time to gather in a phalanx that would have been hard to break had they risen quickly, but this they were forbidden to do by the traditions of their race. It is written that the noble savage must never express surprise in the presence of the white. Thus terrible as the sudden appearance of the pirates must have been to them, they remained stationary for a moment, not a muscle moving; as if the foe had come by invitation. Then, indeed, the tradition gallantly upheld, they seized their weapons, and the air was torn with the warcry; but it was now too late. It is no part of ours to describe what was a massacre rather than a fight. Thus perished many of the flower of the Piccaninny tribe. TEST WARRIORS AND THEY SUDDENLY SAW THE PERFIDIOUS PIRATES BEARING DOWN UPON THEM FELL FROM THEIR EYES THEN THE FILM THROUGH WHICH THEY HAD LOOKED AT VICTORY NO MORE WOULD THEY TORTURE AT THE STAKE FOR THEM THE HAPPY HUNTING GROUNDS NOW THEY KNEW IT BUT AS THEIR FATHERS SONS THEY ACQUITTED THEMSELVES EVEN THEN THEY HAD TIME TO GATHER IN A PHALANX THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN HARD TO BREAK HAD THEY RISEN QUICKLY BUT THIS THEY WERE FORBIDDEN TO DO BY THE TRADITIONS OF THEIR RACE IT IS WRITTEN THAT THE NOBLE SAVAGE MUST NEVER EXPRESS SURPRISE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE WHITE THUS TERRIBLE AS THE SUDDEN APPEARANCE OF THE PIRATES MUST HAVE BEEN TO THEM THEY REMAINED STATIONARY FOR A MOMENT NOT A MUSCLE MOVING AS IF THE FOE HAD COME BY INVITATION THEN INDEED THE TRADITION GALLANTLY UPHELD THEY SEIZED THEIR WEAPONS AND THE AIR WAS TORN WITH THE WAR CRY BUT IT WAS NOW TOO LATE IT IS NO PART OF OURS TO DESCRIBE WHAT WAS A MASSACRE RATHER THAN A FIGHT THUS PERISHED MANY OF THE FLOWER OF THE PICCANINNY TRIBE
