Despite this courageous deed, he falls into the captivity of the Apache tribe and thus into the hands of Chief Winnetou. At this very moment, the settlers attack the Apache village. Santer and the chieftain, Mattho-Sih, who were friendly to him, are just as arrogant as he is, and they do his bidding on the other Indian tribes.
