Journal of Captain John Schuyler who voluntarily

embarked at Wood Creek on the 13^^ August 1690, with

29 christians and 120 Savages, whom he recruited at

Wood Creek as volunteers under his command to go to

Canida to fight the enemy,-

Nearly about the swamps I met Captain Sander Glen on his

way back to Albany, because the greatest number returned. The

aforesaid Sanders had in his company 28 whites and 5 savages

and came from Tsinondrosie where Captain Sanders had been

waiting 8 days for the whole corps. -- From these Captain John

Schuyler enlisted 13 whites and 5 savages to continue with

Captain Schuyler the voyage to Canida and their to fight their

mutual enemy. When the rest of the company had left us, and we

had advanced nearly two hours on our voyage, we found 2 canoes

which had been sent out to spy and which had shot an elk. -- After

we had done eating and had supplied our canoes we proceeded on

our way as far as Canaghsionie. --

The 15th day of August we came one Dutch mile above Crown Point.--
