five Wappingers, our God having collected together there the
greater number of our enemies, to celebrate one of their festi-
vals in their manner, from which escaped no more than eight
men in all, and three of them were severely wounded.

The fight ended, several fires were built in consequence of the
great cold. The wounded, fifteen in number, among whom was
the general, were dressed, and the sentinels being posted the
troops bivouacked there for the remainder of the night. On
the next day, the party set out very early in good order, so as to
arrive at Stantfort in the evening. They marched with great
courage over that wearisome range of hills, God affording ex-
traordinary strength to the wounded, some of whom were badly
hurt; and came in the afternoon to Stantfort after a march of
two days and one night and little rest. The English received
our people in a very friendly manner, affording them every
comfort. In two days they reached here. A thanksgiving was
proclaimed on their arrival.
