So fell seven of the savages, who would if they could have barbarously murdered seventy white men, women, and children, and thus did the Captain of the Pilgrim forces teach the red men a lesson that lasted in vivid force until the men of that generation had given way to those of poor weak Sachem Philip's day.
What is the name of his chief?" "He told me it was Taggarak." "He is the great war chief of the Blackfeet. There is no sachem or chief like him. His arm is powerful and has slain many Assiniboines and Nez Perces and Shoshones." "The words of my brothers were told to me long ago by Mul-tal-la. I am sure they are true. Where shall I seek Taggarak?" The Blackfoot pointed to the northwest.
"Bravely!" returned Whittal, approaching nearer to the subject of his admiration "'tis a brave belt, and none but the wife of a Sachem could make so rare a gift!" The girl folded her arms meekly on her bosom, and again appeared satisfied with herself and with the world. "Here is the hand of him visible who dealeth in all wickedness," said the Puritan.
Suddenly in the smoke I saw General Sullivan, mounted, and talking with Boyd; and I hastened to them and reported, standing at salute. "So that damned Red Sachem escaped you?" said the General, biting his lip and looking now at me, now at Boyd. Boyd said, glancing curiously at me: "When we came up we found the entire Tory army here.
About three miles distant, at the mouth of the Youghiogeny River, dwelt a female sachem, Queen Aliquippa, as the English called her, whose sovereign dignity had been aggrieved, that the party on their way to the Ohio, had passed near her royal wigwam without paying their respects to her.
And so it was done there, I prompting her with her responses, and the mysterious rite witnessed by the priesthood of two nations Sachem and Sagamore, Iroquois and Algonquin, with the tall lodge-poles of the pines confirming it, and the pale ghost-flowers on the moss fulfilling it, and the stars coming one by one to nail our lodge door with silver nails, and the night winds, enchanted, chanting the Karenna of the Uncut Corn.
"I feel I can talk to you freely, and that's really why I came, though I had another call to make." "You're having trouble?" "Plenty of it. I've had another visit from the police, though that's not a very important matter; and Mrs. Nelson's action has raised a storm of indignation. It would be useless to move any further against the Sachem. Even this is not the worst.
That evening a little band of Willamette warriors led the rebel sachem, still bound and blindfolded, down to the river's bank, where a canoe lay waiting them. His wife followed and tried to enter it with him, as if determined to share his fortunes to the very last; but the guard thrust her rudely away, and started the canoe.
As Sergeant Corney afterward told me, Brant advised General Herkimer to go home, thanked him for having come to pay the visit, and said that at some near day he might return the compliment. "But the prisoner?" General Herkimer cried, when the sachem would have stalked away with a great assumption of dignity.
With the exception of two, which were filled but once, they have been held by as many different persons in succession as generations have passed away between that time and the present. The name of each sachemship is also the personal name of each sachem while he holds the office each one in succession taking the name of his predecessor.
