They found only one hillock with a stream at its base, so that Hook had no choice; here he must establish himself and wait for just before the dawn. THEY FOUND ONLY ONE HILLOCK WITH A STREAM AT ITS BASE SO THAT HOOK HAD NO CHOICE HERE HE MUST ESTABLISH HIMSELF AND WAIT FOR JUST BEFORE THE DAWN
e is horribly trying to the paleface who has to live through it for the first time; but to the trained hand those ghastly calls and still ghastlier silences are but an intimation of how the night is marching. That this was the usual procedure was so well known to Hook that in disregarding it he cannot be excused on the plea of ignorance. The Piccaninnies, on their part, trusted implicitly to his honour, and their whole action of the night stands out in marked contrast to his. They left nothing undone that was consistent with the reputation of their tribe. With that alertness of the senses which is at once the marvel and despair of civilised peoples, they knew that the pirates were on the island from the moment one of them trod on a dry stick; and in an incredibly short space of time the coyote cries began. Every foot of ground between the spot where Hook had landed his forces and the home under the trees was stealthily examined by braves wearing their mocassins with the heels in front.
