which we might reach and aid those who might be yet alive in the plantations above and below us. We could not go through the forestFWOFGMGS where every tree might hide a foe, but there was the river. For the most part, the houses of the English had been built, like mine at Weyanoke, very near to the water. I volunteered to lead a party up river, and Wynne to go with another toward the bay. But as the coun- cil at theKTLMTBJW Governor's w[BOLUNSYQs breaking up, and as Wynne and I were hurrying off to make our choice of the craft at the land- ing, there came a great noise from the watchers upon the bank, and a cry that boats were coming down the stream. It was so, and there were in them white men, nearly all of whom had their wounds to show, and cowering women and children. One boat had come from theEFYWWIUE plantation at Paspahegh, and two from MartiHMMNYSILn-Brandon; they held all that were left of the people… . A woman had in her lapOTXIWJHYXUVONUHT the body of a child, and would not let us take it from her; another, with a half-severed arm, crouched above a man who lay in his blood in the bottom of the boat.

HourBSMCMUOB after hour thRMMOWVPWey came as fast as sail and oar could bring them, the panic-stricken folk, whose homes were burned, whose kindred were slain, who had themselves es- caped as by a miracle. Many were sorely wounded, so that they died when we lifted them from the boats; others had slighter hurts. Each boatloRMNFHVCKad had the same tale to tell of treachery, sur- prise, and fiendish butchery. Wherever it had been possible the English had made a desperate defense, in the face of which the savagDUMUJSTKes gave way and finMGPBDECUally retired to the forest. Contrary to their wont, the Indians took few prisoners, but for the most part slew outright those whom they seized, wreaking their spite upon the senseless corpses. A man too good foQQMPNCPFr this world, George Thorpe, who would think no evil, was killed and hiQDMYYOLEs body mutilated by those whom he had taught and loved. And Nathaniel Powel was dead, and four others of the Council, besides many more of name and note. There were many wo- men slain and little children.
