Its rays lit up the clearing, and by contrast darkened the black shadow of the surrounding forest. None of the sleepers within ROBERTSON AND THE SETTLEMENT OF TENNESSEE 99 tbe log Wcalls dreamed of danger, but an Indian war- band was lurking near by, and was about to attack the fort in the darkness. In the dead of night the attempt was made. One by one the warriors left the protection of the tangled wood-growth, slipped silently across the open space, and crouched under the heavy timber pickets... of the palisades, until all had gathered together. Though the gate was fastened with a strong bar and chain, the dexterous savages contrived to open it. In so doing they made a slight noise, which caught Robertson's quick ear as he lay on his buffalo-hide pallet. Jumping up, he saw the gate open and dusky figm^es gliding into the yard with stealthy swiftness. At his cry of Indians and the report of his piece, the settlers sprang up, every man grasping the loaded gun by which he slept. From each log cabin the rifles cracked and flashed, and though the Indians were actually within the yard, they had no cover, and the sudden and unexpected resistance caused them to hurry out much faster than they had come in.
