CHAPTER 7: Into The Hurons Camp.

SUMMARY

The five men went on with their walk, where they found some tracks that were of Magua so they followed them. Later they saw the tracks of the Munro sisters and then they arrived at a lake. They separated in groups of couples to explore the place and Heyward was going to explore it alone because they were five. 

The night fell down and at the edge of the lake Heyward saw some shades. Then he met with Gamut who wore Huron clothes and when Heyward knew that he was Gamut, the other appeared. So all of them decided to look for the sisters and for that they had to paint Heyward's face to not be recognized. He and Gamut went to save Alice and Uncas and Hawk-eye to save Cora. Munro and Chingachgook stayed there waiting.

Heyward and Gamut arrived at the camp of the tribe where Alice was and went into the hut of one of the chiefs with the guards. Heyward tried to seem like a doctor that was sent there to treat sick Hurons. Suddenly cries out of the hut surprised them so they went out of it to see what was happening. Uncas was captured and he entered in the hut. An old woman stared Uncas and the Huron and she told the Huron that he had to die because he was a coward, so when she was going to kill him, the light of the hut turned off.
