This Indian tied a rawhide lasso around Rachel's neck and used it as a leash to take her back to his Indian village. There were days of travel and Rachel would periodically look behind her and memorize the landmarks on the faint possibility that she might escape and return east. The Shawnee committed an error in tying her up for the night so he could sleep. Rachel used her mouth to cut off his air from his windpipe and thus freed herself.
