⛵ ⛵ ⛵ ⛵...(Tour of "High Island")...Continued...
[Last time...]
The Chief was walking slowly out into the open, near the place where the war fire once was, glancing this way and that at the dozen or so wounded lying on the ground and then stopped. He directed his gaze directly toward the ship and raising both arms high above his head…
”Betchwak!” [Translated- “Enough!”]

[On the river Niagara…east bank…]
A sort of eerie hush fell over the entire Seneca village. The warriors in the distance stood silent as the Chief stood with his arms raised high.
On the Silverton, an equally quiet air settled around the crew as they watched the curious sight. The Captain lowered his longscope and eyed the Chief from the bridge…
“Are they surrendering Sairrr?” Galligan asked quietly as he stood beside him.
“Mebbe…mebbe nae...”
On the main deck, Able Seamen Calatorulmiop and Kcgm stood at the starboard forecastle rail…
“What’s it means?” Calatorulmiop said absently as he cleaned his spectacles.
“Looks to me like it might be over!” Kcgm replied with a hopeful voice.
Suddenly on the shore Chief Minetoh slowly lowered his arms and seemed to almost single-out the Captain in the crowd of sailors aboard the ship…
“Come!” [Translated], “Come…talk!”
On the ship, the Captain carefully resolved the gesture mentallly, and then turned to Galligan, “You have an open invitation mate! Gather the landing party and put ashore, daggers and pistols...”
“Now?!”
“Aye, noo! We strike whilst th’ iron is hot!”
“And the Lieutenant Sairrr?”
“She goes tay…she needs tae face her fears- if she has onie, but Ahh doobt she has!”
“Aye Sairrr!” Galligan replied quickly as he walked to the bridge rail and called out his orders….
”Lower the dinghy!”
