Chapter XVIII
IN WHICH PHIL FIGHTS THE INDIANS ON THE ISLAND. "Get behind the trees!" I called to my companions, as I promptly adopted the tactics of Kit Cruncher; for in fighting Indians discretion is eminently the better part of valor. "Was any one hit?" asked Morgan, the man nearest to me, as he dodged behind a cotton-wood tree. "I am not," I replied.
