While the ships stayed (1) in the sundry of these storms (2), those that escaped...buried the rest (3). Being six or seven in company he went down the river (4) and others were excercised in fishing, about cod and bass and the other fish(5). On the tenth of February 1675, came the Indians with great numbers upon (6) the Greeks (7). In secret place (8) the party loving (9) Greeks (10) set their wigwams on fire, and away they went (11). Indians with their Squaws and Children (12) went along that day mourning and lamenting (13), yelling (14) "All things within this fading world hath end" (15). Is by His hand alone that guides nature and fate (16).
