[Illustration: ]
SMITH (_within._) Who knocks?
POCAHONTAS. Pocahontas!
[CAPTAIN JOHN SMITH _comes from the cabin._]
POCAHONTAS. Powhatan is coming! He is coming with his braves! They come
creeping while you sleep!
SMITH. What is this?
POCAHONTAS. They come to kill you and the women and the children!
SMITH. Rolfe, Rolfe, do you hear that?
[ROLFE _comes from the cabin._]
ROLFE. I heard! I'll go and warn the people!
SMITH. Tell them to run quickly to the fort!
ROLFE. I'll tell them!
[_He goes, running._]
SMITH. It is brave of you to warn us, Pocahontas.
POCAHONTAS. I could not bear to have the little children killed.
SMITH. You have saved them and their mothers and their fathers. Me, you
have saved twice.
[_Pocahontas starts to go._]
POCAHONTAS. Good-by, white chief. I go now to my wigwam.
