Annapolis, September 2. A certain John Rowe, who was on
Friday, the 20th of August, taken prisoner by a party of
Indians that at that time made an incursion into this
province, being examined by Thomas Caton, a Virginia
Magistrate, declares, that the evening after he was made a
prisoner, the party of Indians by whom he was taken, being
39 in number, carried him to Little Conehocheague, where
they made fires, and had a war dance, but seemed to be very
apprehensive of danger. The second day they went northward,
to a place of rendezvous, as he conceives, for he saw them
go to a hollow tree that was near, and take thence a
quantity of ammunition. . . [3 lines] Then they removed to
Tom's Run, in the North Mountain, and spend their evening in
dancing and shewing scalps to each other, and triumphing
over their prisoners, . . . [16 lines]
