one tree looks much like the other.

I'm afraid we've missed our goal, John.

All right, here's my plan.

There must be a trail in the forest

leading toward the village.

Fleming, you scout to the south,

John will go west...

and I'll head up river.

- We'll meet back here at sunset. Agreed?

- Agreed.

One of us should have some luck.

Now take care you see the Indians

before they see you.

Never fear, good friend,

I'll be watching this scalp.

I had heard that the fishing was good

in Virginia waters...

but who would have expected fish

such as these.

The question was, how to angle for them?

But my mermaids were shy.

The worst of it is, they vanished

before I could gain from them a clue...

as to where Powhatan's village lay.

Now the question was...

how do you bait a hook

for a frightened mermaid?

Every hunter knows that it's easier

to trap wild game than chase it.

I decided to see what curiosity would do.

I knew I could count on feminine curiosity.

Now don't look so frightened.

I'm not going to hurt you.

You, Englishman?

Please let Pocahontas go.

So your name is Pocahontas.

Wouldn't Pocahontas like pretty beads?

No.

Please let me go.

All girls like pretty beads.

Now don't be so frightened.

Do I look as if I would hurt Pocahontas?

No.

So you're the daughter

of the chief of the Paspaheghans.

My father is chief of all tribes

from blue waters to great mountains.

He would be very angry

if you did not let me go.

Where does your father live?

Up river.

Now will you let me go?

I never met a girl

who was so anxious to get rid of me.

Now wouldn't Pocahontas like to see

pretty mirror?

You look into it, see pretty...

I thought this wild thing most lovely.

But I must confess, I never imagined...

that a chance meeting

with an Indian princess...

would not only change the entire course

of my life...

but would also decide

the history of Virginia.

- Which way?

- Up river.

- What's wrong?

- Same thing that scared yon crow.

- I see nothing unusual.

- The best reason to be watchful.

Don't shoot.

That Indian seems to know nothing

of armor.

That's taking a long chance, Captain.

He might aim at your face.

Get up. We mean you no harm.

Looks like he thinks

you're something kind of special, Captain.

It is to our interest

to have him continue to think that way.

Get up.

You Paspaheghan?

Paspaheghan. Nantaquas.

We come with friendship to visit Powhatan.

Powhatan does not like white skins.

But on white skins that are gods,

he will smile.

You are in no danger.

These white skins are spies who have crept

into our country to steal and to kill.

Their medicine is bad.

Devils of mischief, who would ravish
