Being over-born with her burden, she burst out into tears, telling her Indian master, �that she could go no further.� Whereupon he immediately took off her burden, and leading her aside into the bushes, he cut off her head, and scalping it, he ran about laughing and bragging what an act he had now done; and showing the scalp unto the rest, he told them, �they should all be served so if they were not patient.� - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | ||||||||||||
