Aah!
:59:57
And how am I to know
it wasn't a raid by common thieves?
1:00:01
The cabin was attacked bya war party
Fighting with the French.
1:00:05
They're sweeping south down the frontier
Attacking farms and Mohawk villages.
1:00:10
- All the men are stuck here.
- I need proof more convincing
than this man's opinion...
1:00:14
before I weaken the fort's defenses
by releasing the militia.
1:00:18
Chingachgook's of the
same opinion about the raid.
1:00:21
Taken together, that's gospel.
1:00:23
Your fort will stand or fall
depending on Webb's reinforcements,
1:00:27
not the presence
of the colonials.
1:00:29
I judge military matters here,
not you.
1:00:32
Your judgment is not more important
than their right...
1:00:36
under agreement with Webb
to defend their farms and families.
1:00:39
Major Heyward was there. He was
at John Cameron's. He saw what it was.
1:00:43
What exactly did you see, Major?
1:00:54
I saw nothing that would lead me to the
conclusion it was other than a raid...
1:00:59
by savages bent on thievery.
