Lives of Eminent Missionaries, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)

The two youths had a safe passage to Savannah, where meeting, by chance, with some Moravians, they proceeded straight to the settlement. Here the appear ance of the wanderers was very unexpected: but the parents of Zeisberger rejoiced to see him again,though they and the other colonists were at a loss what to do with him. The family property had all been forsaken in Moravia, and there was no resource in America, save hard industry and toil. The spirit of the boy would not allow him to be a burden to the settlement. He therefore began to act for himself, and used to go forth alone at night, and make war against the beasts of chase which infested the plan tations. This exposed him to danger; and one morning he was found by the Moravians, lying senseless and wounded at the foot of a tree, and the animal he had slain lay by his side: in that state he had remained all night.
