Heard knew of an old hollow log in the woods, which he gained unperceived by the Indians, having killed his dog that he might not be betrayed. There he lay concealed. The Indians in their pursuit came and sat down on the log for rest. Heard listened to their conversation and heard them threaten what they would do to John Heard if they should catch him. He had previously distinguised himself in the Indian wars. In due time he emerged from his hiding place and returned home in safety.
