MD3PAD 676-678

[Toby G Levy]

        Daniel, one of the Mohawk Chiefs, has taken Mason and Dixon out
at night onto the Great Warrior PAth.  He stops them before they step on
points set into the trail that were tipped in venom to trap unwary
visitors. It seems clear to all that there is trouble between the
Iroquois and the Catawbas.

        Moses Barnes, the overseer of the axmen must have been on the
walk with Mason and Dixon, because he mentioned at being struck by the
silence and quotes from an unidentified poem concerning the silence of
birds.

        Both Mason and Dixon dream of continuing onward, reaching a
surging river they cannot ford, and having the Indians show them a great
iron bridge that they are not allowed to use.

        Crawfford the Indian guide says that the first step on the trail
to wisdom is realizing one has been travelling in a circle.

        Chapter 70 begins on page 678.  Mason is still trying to
convince the Indians to let them go on with the line further west.
