Excerpt from American History Leaflets, Colonial and Constitutional: No. 27; May, 1896 That night passing by [veanoc/c some twentie miles from our Fort, they according to their former churlish condition, seemed little to afiect us, but as wee departed and lodged at the point of ivcanock'c, the people the next morning seemed kindely to content us, yet we might perceive many signes of a more Iealousie in them then before, and also the Hinde that the King of arsctcc/e: had given us, altered his resolution in going to our Fort. And with many kinde circumstances left us there. This gave us some occasion to doubt some mischiefe at the Fort, yet Capt. [van/tort intended to have visited paipd/it'g/l and Tappa/zanocke, but the instant change of the winde being faire for our return we repaired to the fort withall speed, where the first we heard was that 400. Indians the day before had assalted the fort, and supprised it, had not God (beyond al their expectations) by meanes of the shippes at whom they shot with their Ordinances and Muskets, caused them to retire, they had entred the fort with our own men, which were then busied in setting Corne, their armes beeing then in tltiefats and few ready but certain Gentlemen of their own, in which conflict, most of the Counsel was hurt, a boy slaine in the Pinnas, and thirteene or fourteene more hurt. With all speede we pallisadoed our Fort: (each other day) for sixe or seaven daies we had alarums by'ambuscadoes, and foure or five cruelly wounded by being abroad: the Indians losse wee know not, but as they report three were slain and divers hurt.
