  Then 
  we 
  shall 
  begin 
  to 
  know 
  what 
  is 
  to 
  become 
  of 
  

   the 
  People 
  of 
  the 
  Long 
  House. 
  Our 
  minds 
  have 
  not 
  changed. 
  

   We 
  are 
  determined 
  to 
  fight 
  the 
  Bostonians.

  of

  good 
  houses 
  and 
  an 
  old 
  

   stockade. 
  Next

  Next

  or 
  Honeoye, 
  was 
  reached 
  and 
  its 
  10 
  houses

  home 
  of

  Its 
  25 
  houses 
  were 
  burned 
  and 
  eight 
  more 
  

   at 
  Little 
  Castle. 
  At 
  night 
  the 
  army 
  reached 
  Gaghsegwarohare 
  

   with 
  22 
  houses. 
  That 
  day 
  Lieutenant

  was 
  captured, 
  with 
  

   another 
  man,

  of 
  his 
  party 
  being 
  found 
  dead, 
  with 
  Han 
  Yost, 
  

   his 
  Oneida 
  guide. 
  The 
  brother 
  of 
  the 
  latter, 
  after 
  his 
  capture, 
  

   told 
  him 
  he 
  was 
  worthy 
  of 
  death, 
  but 
  he 
  left 
  it 
  to 
  Little 
  Beard 
  

   to 
  slay 
  him. 
  Boyd 
  and 
  his 
  companion 
  were 
  terribly 
  tortured 
  in 
  

   the 
  Seneca 
  capital. 
  

  

  Chenussio, 
  or 
  Geneseo, 
  was 
  reached 
  Sep. 
  14. 
  It 
  was 
  west 
  of 
  

   the 
  river 
  and 
  had 
  128 
  fine 
  houses, 
  all 
  of 
  which 
  were 
  destroyed, 
  

   with 
  about 
  15,000 
  bushels 
  of 
  corn. 
  The 
  remains 
  of 
  Boyd 
  and 
  

   Parker 
  were 
  found 
  there 
  and 
  buried 
  with 
  military 
  honors. 
  

   Thence 
  the 
  return 
  march 
  began. 
  Honeoye 
  was 
  destroyed, 
  and 
  

   at 
  Kanadesaga 
  parties 
  were 
  detached, 
  one 
  for 
  Albany 
  and 
  two 
  

   against 
  the 
  Cayuga 
  towns. 
  Colonel 
  Butler 
  retired 
  to 
  Kana- 
  

   waugus, 
  which 
  was 
  not 
  taken.
