Champigny to the Minister Pontchartrain. The original document is in the Archives of 32 the Marine and Colonies at Paris ; and I am indebted to Mr. Francis Parkman, the distinguished historian, for the copy of it. " These Indians did not stop there ; four parties of them have since been detached, who have been within half a day's journey of Boston [/. . , at Groton], where they have killed or captured more than sixty persons, ravaged and pillaged every thing they found, which has thrown all the... people into such consternation that they are leaving the open country to seek refuge in the towns. " A " Relation " of an expedition by Villieu also mentions the assault. A copy of the paper is found in the Massachusetts Archives at the State House, in the volume marked " Docu- ments collected in France, " iv. 251. The writer gives the date of the attack some days later than is usually assigned. He says : — " On the 30, the Indians of the Penobscot, not having taken as many prisoners and as much booty as those of the Kennebec, be- cause they had not found enough to employ themselves ; at the solicitation of Villieu and Taxous, their chief, some fifty of them detached themselves to follow this last person, who was piqued at the little that had been done.
