John S. C. (John Stevens Cabot) Abbott
Capitolo 84
immediately gathering and climbing on their horses for flight, cunningly
sent a flag of truce to solicit a lecture. According to their custom, this
flag consisted of one of their warriors that advance completely unarmed,
intermediary to the ribbon adversary. There he stopped him, and folding up his/her arm,
expected likewise of the one of the other party disarmed, to come
directly to confer with him.
These wild thieves manifested a degree of the intelligence in their astuteness,
what expected would not have been really of them. Through their interpreter
they supposed an air of the perfect innocence, while striking the great surprise that
the horses belonged to the hunters of skins, while saying that theirs supposed that them
you/he/she was stealing their hereditary enemies, the Snake Indian.
"Nothing would incite us", says these barbarian diplomatists, to commit
some depredations on our friends the white men."
The falsehood so with the open face it didn't do, for a moment, deceptions Kit Carson. But it
it was essential for him to stir with great caution. The Indians' number,
their position, their weapon and the nature of the earth on that
they had met, made the very doubtful result of a battle. It is not able
face for Carson to manifest the trepidation of slightest or the least doubt of
his/her ability to recover the loot, and to punish the raiders.

friends, they owes every reunion in unarmed suggestion, and it smokes the calumet of
peace. They are generally there of the points of honor that it will tie more anymore the
abandoned men. Man was the smoke of the pipe of the peace with you/he/she attaches him with ferocity.
A great fire was built. The two parties met him around him. The calumet was
illuminated, and it passed around to every present of person. Every one of the
it attaches with ferocity puffed two odors before, and the white men did then the same. This
it was the solemn pawn that should not be us disloyalty.
