By sunrise, intelligence had arrived of the killing of Bone-Cracker. Now all were crying "vengeance" upon the slayer and those who had sought him in secret were emboldened to pursue him openly. Major Lowry, after breakfast, being on the other side of the neighbouring stream, heard a pistol shot - Major Walker was with him - Walker, exclaimed he, there's somebody killed. He was not mistaken. It was Double-Head.

    After eager, untiring search, the place of Double-Head's concealment was discovered. Sanders and the nest rushed (slily?) & suddenly into the room where he was lying. He was in a slumber, but their approach startled him - He sprang up - drew a dirk - caught at a pistol - Rising, the sheet clung to his limbs and clogged his heels - Sander's planted a tom a hawk in his skull - The rest fell upon him and chopped his head to pieces. - At this time, Black Fox was Chief.
