  may 
  be 
  imagined. 
  The 
  Viceroy 
  told 
  the 
  insolent 
  savage 
  that 
  he 
  

   would 
  never 
  kill 
  another, 
  and 
  had 
  him 
  strangled 
  on 
  the 
  spot 
  by 
  

   the 
  executioner, 
  in 
  the 
  presence 
  of 
  the 
  Flemish 
  Bastard, 
  whom 
  

   he 
  retained 
  as 
  a 
  prisoner. 
  

  

  Colden 
  related 
  this 
  differently, 
  saying 
  that, 
  after 
  peace 
  was 
  

   made, 
  some 
  Mohawks 
  killed 
  these 
  Frenchmen 
  ; 
  and 
  

  

  The 
  Five 
  Xations, 
  to 
  shew 
  their 
  publick 
  Displeasure 
  at 
  this 
  

   Breach 
  of 
  Peace, 
  sent 
  Agariata, 
  the 
  Captain 
  of 
  the 
  Company 
  that 
  

   did 
  the 
  Mischief, 
  with 
  forty 
  others, 
  to 
  beg 
  Pardon 
  ; 
  but 
  Monsieur 
  

   Coursel 
  was 
  resolved 
  to 
  make 
  an 
  example 
  of 
  Agariata, 
  and 
  

   ordered 
  him 
  to 
  be 
  hanged 
  in 
  sight 
  of 
  his 
  Company; 
  and 
  the 
  

   French 
  think 
  that 
  this 
  Severity 
  was 
  a 
  great 
  Means 
  of 
  preserving 
  

   the 
  Peace 
  till 
  the 
  Year 
  1683. 
  

  

  Most 
  of 
  the 
  others 
  were 
  sent 
  home. 
  De 
  Tracy 
  made 
  another 
  

   expedition 
  that 
  year, 
  with 
  1300 
  men, 
  rendezvousing 
  at 
  Fort 
  St 
  

   Anne 
  in 
  Lake 
  Champlain, 
  where 
  De 
  Courcelle 
  preceded 
  him 
  with 
  

   400 
  men. 
  They 
  carried 
  two 
  cannon. 
  Mohawk 
  scouts 
  gave 
  the 
  

   alarm 
  and 
  every 
  town 
  was 
  abandoned. 
  The 
  last 
  town 
  was 
  well 
  

   provisioned 
  and 
  strong 
  enough 
  for 
  defense. 
  This 
  fort 
  was 
  " 
  a 
  

   triple 
  palisade, 
  surrounding 
  their 
  stronghold, 
  twenty 
  feet 
  in 
  

   height 
  and 
  flanked 
  by 
  four 
  bastions." 
  Besides 
  food, 
  it 
  had 
  

   " 
  abundant 
  supplies 
  of 
  water 
  in 
  bark 
  tanks." 
  Oct. 
  17, 
  1666, 
  the 
  

   troops 
  " 
  being 
  drawn 
  up 
  in 
  battle 
  array 
  before 
  the 
  Fort 
  of 
  Anda- 
  

   raque," 
  their 
  commander 
  " 
  took 
  possession 
  of 
  said 
  Fort 
  and 
  of 
  all 
  

   the 
  lands 
  in 
  the 
  neighborhood 
  as 
  far 
  and 
  in 
  as 
  great 
  a 
  quantity 
  

   as 
  they 
  may 
  extend, 
  and 
  of 
  the 
  other 
  four 
  forts 
  which 
  have 
  been 
  

   conquered 
  from 
  the 
  Iroquois." 
  On 
  this 
  act 
  was 
  based 
  part 
  of 
  

   the 
  French 
  claims 
  to 
  land 
  in 
  Xew 
  York.
