(Extract of a letter from a gentleman, dated at Chinecto,
October 4.) We have the most treacherous enemy in the world
to deal with:--Since our being here we have had a great many
conferences by flaggs of truce, with both the French and
Indians: . . . [5.5 lines] But this day, even within this
fatal hour, he went to answer their flagg with only the drum
who carries our flagg . . . [5 lines] the villains from
behind the dykes rose up and fired a whole volley at him and
the drum; . . . [4 lines] The drum was not hurt. . .
