Snow appeared at the door with his musket in his hand and made a demonstration of surrender; but he only did this to single out his victim. The Indian who covered the file in its approach was of ferocious appearance and uncommon stature. His head was adorned with plumage of the eagle taken entire, its wings depending over either shoulder, and talons and beak so arranged that it still seemed to have life and conscious of its kingly power. When within a few steps of Snow, and signifying request for quarter, now suddenly elevated the muzzle of his piece, and saying that he neither asked or gave quarter, discharged it into the bosom of the Indian Sachem, who rolled upon the ground in the mortal agonies of death. Before Snow could recover and make another movement of offense, he himself was slain and cut into pieces by the whole party, who furiously attacked him. They then betook themselves to lamentations and howling for the loss of their (beloved) chief. Now having performed all the funeral rites due to his rank, and significant of their consideration of his loss, they sank him in a neighboring bog and continued their march northward, taking Stinchfield along with them, calculating to offer him up as a sacrifice for the death of their chief.
