Chapter XI (3)

The parley that ensued was a fine specimen of Indian courtesy and diplomacy. But it was suddenly and violently interrupted, when Tula, who had remained in the rear of her party, with the Englishmen, came up. At the first sight of the young chief, she uttered a loud and piercing shriek--for the extremes of joy and grief use similar tones and gestures--and rushing forward, pushed aside friend and stranger alike, and flung herself upon his neck, exclaiming--"Ish-ta-le-o-wah!--my brother! my brother!"
