Early the ext morning the soldiers marched to Fort William Henry. Another small group of people was also getting ready to  travel this fort the same day. There were hourses waiting outside General Webb´s house, and a small crowd of people weres stood watching them. In this crowd was a very strange person. He was tall and thin. While he watched three figuries left General Webb´s house. A young officer was followed by two women. The officer climbed onto his own horse and the three rode off, following the Indian. Then the women start talking about the Indian. At that point the Indian runner stopped and pointed to a narrow that disappeared into the forest. They left the wide road anf entered the forest following the Indian guide. They hera something crashing through the forest beehind them, getting closer.

Suddenly there was a noise of a breaking branch and, like a frigtened animal, Magua (the Indian person) ran off into the forest.
