"As late as 1655 the Indians of New York were revenging the murderous slaughter of four hundred of their countrymen at Pavonia by that sanguinary coward Governor Kieft. The petition shows that three hundred of the Dutch colony had been slain and one hundred carried away captive. So audacious had the fierce Indians become that several of the Dutch had been killed on the Island of Manhattan; and on one occasion sixty-four canoes loaded with the savages had landed on the shore of the North River, and before daylight had filled the streets of New Amsterdam. The first objects upon which the eyes of the astonished Dutchmen rested in the morning were the crowds of savages, to whose forbearance alone they owed their lives "-FIELD. 339 BRIGHT (John).
