At 195th street a brook, later known as "The Run," crossed the path from west to east, at the head of the swampy ground which extended in from Sherman creek (Map V). In the sloping ground north of the watercourse, which has been cultivated for many years as a truck garden, various objects of native handling have been turned up by the spade, but these are not sufficient to indicate its use for more than a campsite. The path passed on, as Broadway now does, around the western side of "The Knoll" to Dyckman street, which it crossed between the heads of two small watercourses running east and west, respectively, at that point. A branch path must certainly have turned westward along the margin of the latter brook, at the base of the high ground around which Riverside drive now bends, and led to the ancient station (100) on the bank of 'Little Sand bay," snugly ensconced behind Tubby hook. Along the course of the brook deposits of shells may still be seen, and on the shore

82 INDIAN PATHS upon the east, which thus became known to the early colonists as the kill Muscoota. The hilly extremity of the island, the present Marble hill, around which Spuyten Duyvil creek winds its sinuous way, was known as Saperewack, an apparent and interesting description of the white marble outcrop of this hill, evidenced by the Delaware sabbeleu-aki, "glistening place," as determined by Mr Harrington. This name is recorded in the deed of 28 September, 1669, as "the hook called Saperewack." The winding waterway from the head of kill Muscoota, at 225th street, was known as Paparinemin or Papirinemin, a name applied also to the island of Kingsbridge which bounded the stream on its northerly side, and which seems to be derived from the Delaware papallenumen, "to continually make a false start," which would indicate to the native mind the special peculiarity of the tides of this locality, according to Mr Harrington.
