Finally, a treaty was concluded between the Dutch and the Indians, the former agreeing to some matters required by the latter, on condition that the murderer should be surrendered. But the treaty was never fulfilled by either party. It was a very difficult matter to have an Indian arrested whose actions had been in strict accordance with the laws and customs of his race. Against the advice of the chief men of Manhattan, Governor Kieft had sent a company of eighty men against the Weckqutesgeeks in March, 1642, and although they did little damage, the Indians were greatly incensed thereby. Various causes of irritation had brought the Dutch and Indians into violent collision west, of the Hudson, and finally those Indians made common cause with the Weckqua-sgeeks, and the Dutch were swept from Westchester, and compelled to take refuge in Fort Amsterdam. " From swamps and thickets the mysterious enemy made his sudden onset. The farmer was murdered in the open field; women and children, granted their lives, were swept off" into long captivity; houses and boweiies, hay-stacks and grain, cattle and crops were all destroyed." The Indians were now satisfied, and on the 22d of April, 1643, they made a treaty of peace, in which it was declared that '"all injuries committed by the said natives against the Netherlanders, or by the Xetherlanders against said natives, shall be forgiven and forgotten forever, reciprocally promising one the other to cause no trouble the one to the other." But, in September of that year, war again broke out, beginning with the capture, by the Indians, of two boats descending the river from Fort Orange, and again the Dutch settlers were all driven into Fort Amsterdam. The Weckquaisgeeks attacked the residence of Anne Hutchinson, who had been driven out of New England by the Puritans, and had settled within the present bounds of Pelham, and killed her, her daughter and her sonin-law, and carried her young granddaughter into captivity.
