But a very short time elasped before a message came from him, entreating the Governor to consent to the death of the renegade who still abused him. The Governor confessed in reply, that Squanto deserved death, but desired that he might be spared on account of his indispensable services. Massasoit was not yet satisfied. The former messenger was again sent, " with divers others/' says Winslow in his Relation, " demanding him, [Squanto] as being one of Massasoit's subjects, whom by our first artic...le of peace we could not retain ; yet because he would not will- ingly do it [insist upon his rights] without the Gover- nor's approbation, he offered him many beaver-skins for his consent thereto. " The deputation had brought these skins, accordingly, as also the sachem's own knife, for the execution of the criminal. Squanto now surrendered himself to the Governor, as an In- dian always resigns himself to his fate upon similar occasions ; but the Governor still contrived a pretext for sparing him.
