He broke the arrow tip off and pulled the shaft from his leg. He used his shirt as a tourniquet. He lay beneath some potato vines to hide from the Indians, and being exhausted from his efforts, fell asleep. At dusk, a young Indian girl came to steal potatoes from the field under cover of darkness. She discovered the young man, and helped him return to her village. Her family nursed him back to health, during which time he and the Indian girl developed an affection for each other and they were married. Her name is unknown.
