CHAPTER 9: Magua, Huron Chief.

SUMMARY

The Hurons opened the door of the prison where Uncas was, and they discovered that it was Gamut who was there, so they warned of the situation to the people from the tribe. Afterwards, they sought to Magua, he was found in the caves, bound gagged and very angry. Later, the old chiefs and Magua were talking, and they decided to go to Delaware’s village, because they think that Heyward, Haw-Eye, Uncas and the sisters are there.

When the Hurons reach to the Delaware’s village, Magua talks to Hard-Heart, who is a chief from this tribe. During the conversation Magua confirms that the Mohicans and the rest were here. But Cora tried to reason with Tamenund, who is a Delaware chief, for persuading him to help them against the Hurons.
