In shreds of silver sheen.

This U'& it possesses great interest, from the

their victims thereon, were about to apply the
faggot. when a voice was beard, like the roar

ordered the logs to be tired—when the Great
Spirit hurled a ihmideibelt which burnt the
chief to n crisp. Then a mighty earthquake ,
