    CHAPTER

    Vourn Rohana awoke from that long
    and feverish dream, she was lying upon
    rude couchin ber father’s yam. Mah-
    toree was bending over her witha parent's
    solisitude, watching every breath that
    heaved her bosom, and at the first eleam-

    fing of her eye upon him, he turned his

    het to Abuiito, who had resened her in
    the hour ot need. Rohana awoke to con
    sciousness with w dim recolluction of the
    storm, tnd the sound of the waves. still
    ringing in herear. She Hd by
    a strange apparition, for beside lov father
    stood thé form of a young pale-face who
    had been watching by her couvh., HH
    dress was that of a boatoiain, and his h
    wis yet moist with spray, The Indian
    girl gave him a contased glanee of plow
    sureand gratitude, for her heart whisper-
    ed that he Sher preserver. Sav kasw
    net the ordinary forms of delicate compli-
    ment and fastitious etiqhette, but a siaule
    look convinced the young marino. that
    her heart w yuaking theoush her eyes.
    Rohana arose with au aclivity which
    evinced her entire recovery. She advanced
    to the door of the wigwa rd Jooked out
    upon the scene, A str $
    larger than she had eve
    moored in the Tittle ha
    piece of canvas flapping idly in the
    She soon learned froin her father t
    the erew was composed of a party of Lur-
    traders who had left the boat in the charge
    of a portion of the cvew, and had departed
    to the Indian villages, in prosecution o!
    the purposes ot their expedition, Won
    by this strange apparition, Rohana bound-
    ed off towards the vessel. The sun had
    risen in all his beauty upon the like, The
    winds were lulled, and the waves were
    still as a giantin repose. ‘The birds, from
    their airy nests on the cli, sang as swect-
    ly as ever, and the wild deer bounded un-
    harmed by the Indian wigwam. And the
    Indian girl and hor preserver strolled out
    upon the beach.

    « Ave you alone ?” said Rohana, timidly,
    to the being thus strangely theowa beside
    her.

    “My companions have gone into the
    woods,” he replied, but the pile-tace has
    chosen to remain in the Indian wigwan,
    “You ave welcome!” said the girl, in
    the briet though eloquent langnase of his

    country. (Phe Bird of Brie is grateful to
    the stranger, and her father’s wigawam. is

    open to his steps.”

    “You are bold to trust to such a’ sholl
    as that,” said the muriner, pointing to the
    boat which the waves lad driven ashore.
    “Twas born on the lake,” was the re:
    ply, ‘' aud [have lived on its waters from
    achild. The daughter of the fisherman
    is proud of her fathers calling, and not a
    day passes in sunshine or storm, but I

    “Tf you had a craft like that,” said the
    mariier, pointing with pride to his own
    vessel, “you might justly prize this beau-
    tiful sheet of water.”

    Then calling to one ot the boatmen,who
    had been lett in charge of the vessel, he
    demanded to be taken on board. In a
    few minutes Rohana was standing on the
    deck of the sloop, ‘The simple daughter
    of the Indian chief was delighted with all
    that she saw—the mast, the ropes, the
    sails, and the blue waves rolling in’ quiet
    grandeur beneath her, Ata signal from
    her companion, the rigging was unforied,
    the anchor was loosed, the helmsinan was
    at his post. and the gallant bark shot like
    an arrow from its moorings. Rohana,
    with emotions of wild delight, watched
    the waves breaking and curling before the
    prow, and pointed with wonder to her fr
    ther’s wigwam and the highlands beyond,
    receding from her yiew, until they rested
    like a single speck ou the horizon,

    Still the vessel pursued its onward way,
    now driven out of sight of the shore, now
    coasting in the shadows of the trees: that
    overhung the water’sedge. ‘Lhe wild deer
    along the shore starting at the approach of
    the strange craft, gazed fora moment a

    imulation in another, At morning, noon,

    and night she would climb to the summit

    of the cliff, and look out upon the lake,

    and if was a touching sight to the father

    to see the child of his bosom thus dropping

    from his grasp like a withering flower,
