She had been in almost all the great engagements that had been fought between England and Holland, and in the last fight between the English and French, when she compelled the Soleil Royal to fly for shelter among the rocks.

Some of the settlers began to live out on their clearings. Rude little corn-mills and "hominy pounders" were built beside some of the streams.
