| | Adventure of Lewis Wetzel |
 | | Wetzel soon discovered that the party consisted of three Indians and a renegado white man, a fact not uncommon in those early days, when, for crime or the love of revenge, the white outlaw fled to the savages, and was adopted on trial into their tribe. |
 | | Wetzel, as soon as he saw that he was discovered, discharged his rifle at random, in order to draw them from their covert. |
 | | Wetzel led him on, dodging from tree to tree, until his rifle was again ready, when suddenly turning, he shot his remaining enemy, who fell dead at his feet. |
