What did Chingachgook do to Hayward?

In James Fenimore Cooper's novel "The Last of the Mohicans," Chingachgook, a Mohican chief, ultimately avenges the death of his son Uncas by killing the antagonist Magua, who is responsible for Uncas's demise. However, Hayward, who is a key character and ally in the story, is primarily involved in the rescue and protection of Cora and Alice Munro. Chingachgook's actions towards Hayward are not hostile; rather, he respects him as a companion and ally throughout their perilous journey.
