lled their own knows them no more.

Gilbert, grateful to the old chief for the service he had rendered,
despatched Oliver Dane at the head of an expedition by water to invite
him to James Town, where he might be safe from the vengeance of his
countrymen, should they discover that he had warned the English of their
intended treachery. Oliver returned in two weeks, bringing Oncagua with
him. "The old chief has come, at your call," he said, "though my days
on earth are few; but ere I go, I would gain more of the wonderful
knowledge which changed my Manita into what I now see her; and that,
more than the fear of my foes, induced me to accept your invitation."

From that day forward Oncagua seldom went beyond the house and
surrounding garden. He gained, however, knowledge he did not seek, for
Virginia, aided by Cicely, laboured diligently to instruct him in the
truths of the Gospel, and ere he was summoned from earth he could
exclaim with confidence "I know that my Redeemer liveth."

The trials and dangers through which our various friends had gone, had
taught them also an important lesson, to put their trust in their loving
Father, all mighty to save, and gratefully to acknowledge from their own
experience that whatsoever He orders is for the best.
