He still the High. hop^ that he might be able to win some chiefs *™^' who r^Qiained neutral; and he carefuUy avoided every act which could goad them into open hostility. This was undoubtedly a policy likely to promote the interest of James; but the interest of James was nothing to the wild marauders who used his name and rallied round his ban- ner merely for the purpose of making profitable forays and wreaking old grudges.
