Others were shot or killed one in one place, and another in another, while a number may have been killed and their bodies disfigured as represented in the account of Col. Balliet, and their bodies lying nea...r each other. It is eaid of Capt. Klader that he performed prodigies of valor, killing of the enemy four, and according to others seven, before yield- ing to the superior force of the enemy.

The author supposes the coming of Van Campen to have been later than that of the other party. He remem- bers distinctly that in giving his account, Van Campen said the only way they could bury the men found there, was by taking a blanket and fastening the sides securely to two poles ; that without handling them the bodies were rolled on to this blanket, and emptied into the grave prepared to receive them; two men acting as^ bearers, and holding in their hands the ends of these poles.
