In connection wUh the above, another tradition deserves to be recorded, which asserts that several of the river tribes had a severe and sanguinary conflict with the Indians inhabiting the Point, which resulted in the defeat of the former ; and, further, that the large mound or barrow near the entrance of the Point was erected over the dead who fell upon that memorable occasion. Be this as it may, indubitable evidence exists that a struggle must have taken place here at some time, from the fact, that vast quantities of warlike weapons have been found in the immediate vicinity of the fort.

A rural lane, bordered with luxuriant forest trees, leads from the main, called Enoch's Neck, to the Point proper, originally called by the Indians Senasqua, and by the English Sarah's or Sarak's Point, a name derived from Sarah Teller, wife of William Teller, former proprietor. This lane passes immediately below the site of the Indian castle.

The Italian villa of R. T. Underhill, M.D., stands upon an elevated position near the extremity of the latter, commanding a very extensive view of the Hudson River (nearly twenty-seven miles in length) and adjacent country, in which Vredideka Hook forms a noble feature to the southwest. The basement of the building is constructed of Ashlar marble, cut in Sing Sing ; the upper portion consists of stuccoed brick. The whole edifice is in admirable keeping with the adjoining vineyards and surrounding scenery. -.---.-

R. T. and William A. Underhill, the present proprietors of the Point proper, are the sons of Robert Underhill, Esq., fifth in descent from the famous Lord John Underhill, High Constable of the North Riding of Yorkshire, upon Long Island.
