Squanto terribly disappointed at finding all his 2:)eople dead, remained with Dermer, till he touched on this second pinnace voyage, at Sawah-quatooke (an Indian town in the present township of Brewster on Cape Cod) " where," in Dermer's words, " he desired to stay with some of our savage friends." Subsequently Squanto, from the knowledge of English he had picked up> became of great assistance to the Pilgrims as an interpreter and his later career is well known.

Dermer stopped at Martha's Vineyard, and thence as he says, shaped his voyage " as the coast led me till I came to the most westerly part where the coast began to fall away southerly. (This was the eastern entrance of Long Island Sound.) In my way I discovered land about thirty leagues in length heretofore taken for main, where I feared I had been embayed, but by the help of an Indian I got to sea again, through many crooked and straight passages. I let pass many accidents in this journey occasioned by treachery, where we were twice compelled to go together by the ears ; once the savages had great advantage of us in a strait, not above a bow-shot, [wide], and where a great multitude of Indians let fly at us from the bank ; but it pleased God to make us victors. Near unto this we found a most dangerous cataract amongst small, rocky islands, occasioned

by two unequal tides, the one ebbing and flowing two hours before the other." This was Hellgate, and the place were the Indians " let fly" at them was in the neighborhood of Throg's Point. Such was the voyage of the first Englishman who ever sailed through Long Island Sound, and the first who ever beheld the southern and eastern shores of Westchester County.
