For this object he collected togeth- er about two hundred men of St. Mary's county, who volunteered their services, and eleven or twelve small vessels to transport them across the mouth of the river, as they intended to march along the shores of the bay. The little army set out in the beginning of April, 1654. On their way, and before they had reached Herring Creek, in Ann Arundel county, they were met by a boat filled with messengers from the government at Ann Arundel, and bringing a letter to... Governor Stone, ALAEMING THREATS. 133 . Protesting against his proceedings, and asking by what authority he acted, and whether he had re- solved to avoid all negotiation upon the subject, at the same time declaring " that by the help of God they were resolved to commit themselves into the hand of God and die like men, rather than live like slaves. " Instead of returning any answer to this message, Stone seized the boat and made the mes- sengers prisoners. They guarded these, however, so negligently that three of them managed to escape, and carry back to the government at Ann Arundel an account of their treatment, and of the approach of Stone with a hostile force.
