Major Heyward creates a diversion for the courier by sallying against the besieging French and Indian army. Nathaniel and Uncas provide cover from Fort William Henry while the courier makes a run for Fort Edward with an urgent despatch requesting reinforcements from General Webb. This is a deleted scene. It's included in the Director's Expanded Edition DVD, but omitted from the Blu-ray release.
