He was offered life upon condition that he would submit to the English, and deliver up to them all the Wampanoags in his territory. "Let me hear no more of this," he replied, nobly. "I will not surrender a Wampanoag, nor the paring of a Wampanoag's nail." He was taken to Stonington, where he was sentenced to be shot. When informed of his doom, he replied, in the spirit of an old Roman,
"You'll get it here," said Mr. Stonington. Let us pass over that first meal something that the girls did not do by any means but the mere details of our friends arriving, getting settled, and then of resting to enjoy life as they had never enjoyed it before, can have little of interest to the reader. So, as I said, let us pass over a few days.
We'll all go. We'll be outdoor girls down where there's no winter!" "It sounds enticing," murmured Grace, who did not like the cold weather. "Think of orange blossoms " "And brides!" completed Betty. "Oh, girls!" "Silly!" chimed in Mollie. "Is Mrs. Stonington very ill?" asked Betty. "You said something about her going down there." "She is not at all well," spoke Amy.

"I'll be going up the river in a day or so, and if you think we'll hire of Belton I'll tell him so," he said to Mr. Stonington. "Yes, if you like, Mr. Hammond." "All right, then I'll pilot the girls to his camp if their boat will hold me." "Indeed it will!" exclaimed Betty, "and you can tell me how to avoid sand bars."

My purpose was to obtain action on pension applications. Our journey was a slow one, if not tedious. From Groton to Boston by stage, and from Boston to Stonington, Conn., by rail; from Stonington to New York by steamboat; from New York to Perth Amboy by steamboat; from Perth Amboy by rail, I think, but possibly by stage to a town on the Delaware River, Franklin perhaps.
