name of the tribe is unknown, this local 

 term being applied to them by the early 

 colonists. They were first known to the 

 English in 1661 , when a colony from New 

 England made a settlement near the 

 mouth of the river, and soon incurred the 

 ill will of the Indians by seizing their ehil- 

 di-en and sending them away under pre- 

 tense of instructing them in the ways of 

 civilization, resulting in the colonists be- 

 ing finally driven from the country. In 

 1663 another party from Barbadoes pur- 

 chased lands of Wat Coosa, head chief of 

 the tribe, and made a settlement, which 

 was abandoned a few years later. Necoes 

 and other villages then existed on the 

 lower part of the river. In 1665 another 

 colony settled at the mouth of Oldtown 

 cr. in Brunswick co., on the s. side of the 

 river, on land bought of the Indians, but 

 soon abandoned it, though the Indians 

 were friendlj^ The next mention of 

 them is by the colonial governor, Col. 

 Johnson, in a letter of Jan. 12, 1719 

 (Rivers, Early Hist. So. Car., 94,1874), 

 which gives a table of Indian tribes in 

 Carolina in 1715, when their population 

 is given as 206 in 5 villages. They prob- 

 ably took part in the Yamasi war of that 

 and the following year, and suffered pro- 

 portionately in consequence. They are 

 last noticed in 1751 in the record of the 

 Albany Conference (N. Y. Doc. Col. Hist., 

 VI, 721, 1855) as one of the small friendly 

 tribes with which the South Carolina 

 government desired the Iroquois to be at 

 peace. See Moonev, Siouan Tribes of the 

 East, Bull. B. A. E., 1894.

Cape Sable Indians. A name applied by 

 early New England writers to those Mic-

 tobi, q. V.

Captives. The treatment accorded cap- 

 tives was governed by those limited ethical 

 concepts which went hand in hand with 

 clan, gentile, and other cousanguineal 

 organizations of Indian society. From 

 the members of his own cousanguineal 

 group, or what was considered such, cer- 

 tain ethical duties were exacted of an In-- 

 dian which could not be neglected with- 

 out destroying the fabric of society or 

 outlawingthe transgressor. Toward other 

 clans, gentes, or bands of the same tribe 

 his actions were also governed by well 

 recognized customs and usages which had 

 grown up during ages of intercourse, but 

 with remote bands or tribes good rela- 

 tions were assured only by some formal 

 peace-making ceremony. A peace of this 

 kind was very tenuous, however, espe- 

 cially where there had been a long-stand- 

 ing feud, and might be broken in an in- 

 stant. Toward a person belonging to 

 some tribe with which there was neither 

 war nor peace, the attitude was governed 

 largely by the interest of the moment. 

 In such cases the virtues of the clan or 

 gentile organizations as peace-making fac- 

 tors made themselves evident, for if the 

 stranger belonged to a clan or gens repre- 

 sented in the tribe he was among, the 

 members of that clan or gens usually
