A devout colonial missionary living among Native Americans faces a planned massacre by hostile Indians. As they approach the flame-lit tent, a large snake crawls from the fire and crosses his feet, startling the attackers. They flee, convinced the Great Spirit protected him, ending the immediate danger. The tale, tied to the Wondy war era, is presented as a legendary incident from early New England.
