In the struggle for its possession there were two battles. One was on the water in canoes. In this the INarragansetts were vic- torious. The Aquidnecks retreated to the Island and encamped about three miles and a quarter from the State House, in Newport, in what is now the town of Middletown, on a piece of swampy land, a little east of the 45 road leading to Bristol Ferry. Here they were surrounded by the Narragansetts, who attacked them on all sides with the fury of savages, and in a short tim...e slew and wound- ed so many of them as to make it useless to continue the conflict. From this time the Aquidnecks were tributary to their conquerors. Its present name of Rhode Island was given to it after the celebrated Isle of Ehodes in the Mediterrean Sea. It is fifteen miles long and about tlii-ee and a half broad. It is connected vnth. The main land at the North-East by a long stone bridge. The soil is rich, and it ■ was once covered with a heavy forest well filled with various kinds of game, including deer and fowl.
