If I took any interest in any dam-Yankee outside of my son-in-law Laughton yondah, I should say that my brother's death had been amply avenged. The man at her right took up the challenge, and the war spread. Her eyes twinkled over the flames she had lit. 'Don't these folk, she said a little later, 'remind you of Arabs picnicking under the Pyramids? 'I've never seen the Pyramids, I replied.

Early in the spring, one Laughton had obtained a warrant from the court in Massachusetts to seize any of the Eastern Indians who had robbed or murdered any of the English. This Laughton, a vile kidnapper, under cover of this warrant, lured a number of Indians at Pemaquid on board his vessel. None of them were accused of any crime, and it is not known that they had committed any.
