Chapter 9: Magua, Huron Chief.

SUMMARY

The Hurons who guarded Uncas´prison realized that Uncas wasn´t there but it was Gamut who was in. The Hurons did some research and they discovered Magua, who was tied, a doctor who had stolen his bear suit and they also found out that the ill woman was dead. The, Magua told what had happened in the cave and he became the chief in that battle. The Hurons and their allies went to visit his enemies, the Delawares. Magua arrived at the place where the Delawares were. There, he spoke to Hard-heart and, then, to Tamenund, who was chief, because he wanted to find Uncas, who was prisoner.
