Transcription courtesy of the Westchester County Historical Society (No copyright - United States). Passage 2 of 2 238 words

"And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the King of Israel between the joints of the harness; wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thy hand and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded." - See also II. Chronicles XVIII. 33. Before Captain Frost finally got off with the Darien Congregation, it must have been as late as 9 or 10 P.M. as up to that time I heard the noise of cannon from the armed vessels. Mather's youngest son escaped by getting under the seats and behind the womens petticoats. Another son jumped out of the window, was wounded, but escaped.
