chief was, Church went with his Indian 
soldiers and only one white companion to 
capture him. When he reached the re- 
treat, a rocky hill in the middle of a 
swamp, he sent the captives forward to 
divert the attention of Annawan’s peo- 
ple. Church and his scouts then stole 
up, the noise they made being drowned 
by the sound of a pestle with which a 
woman was pounding corn, and jumped 
to the place where the arms were stacked. 
Annawan and his chief counselors, thus 
surprised and ignorant of the fewness 
of their assailants, gave themselves up 
and were bound. The fighting men, who 
were encamped near by, surrendered 
when they were told that the place was 
surrounded by English soldiers. Anna- 
wan brought the wampum belts and 
other regalia of King Philip, which he 
gave to Capt. Church as his conqueror, 
who had now overcome the last company 
that stood out against the English. An- 
nawan’s captor interceded to have his 
life spared, but the authorities at Ply- 
mouth, extracting from him a confession 
that he had put to death several English 
prisoners, some of them with torture, 
beheaded him in 1676 while Capt. Church 
was absent, (f. h. )

w ’ Antiquity. The antiquity of man on ■ 
the American continent is a subject of 
interest to the student of the aborigines 
as well as to the historian of the human 
race, and the various problems that arise 
with respect to it in the region n. of Mex- 
ico are receiving much scientific atten- 
tion. As the tribes were without a sys- 
tem of writing available to scholars, 
knowledge of events that transpired be- 
fore the Columbian discovery is limited 
to the rather indefinite testimony fur- 
nished by tradition, by the more defi- 
nite but as yet fragmentary evidences of 
archeology, and by the internal evidence 
of general ethnological phenomena. The
