They had been sent forward under a guard, and were bound to the trees until the action was over, and the army came up, from whence they were marched forward about four or five miles, where they encamped for the night. Here " they dug away the snow and made some wigwams, cut down some small branches of the spruce tree to lie down on, and gave the prisoners some what to eat. " During the night one of the captives by the name of Alexander es- caped. In the morning Rev. Mr. Wil- liams was called fo...r, and ordered by the commander, " to tell the captives, that if any more made their escape, they would burn the rest of the prisoners. '' The loss of the enemy in the meadow fight was thirty-six, and they had eleven killed in the assault on the fort. The loss of the English in the meadow was nine, and they also lost about forty- seven killed in the attack on the town. During the engagement in the fort one house (situated a few rods from the 21 house now standing, ) was bravely de- fended by seven men, and they maintain- ed the defence against the whole French and Indian force during the time they remained.
