But the men sallied out and quenched the flames. The next night the savages renewed their attack.
" They used several stratagems to fire us, namely, by wild-fire on cotton and linen rags with brimstone in them, which rags they tied to the piles of their arrows sharp for the purpose and shot them to the roof of our house after they had set them on fire, which would have much en- dangered in the burning thereof, had we not used means by cutting holes through the roof and otherwise to beat the sai...d arrows down, and God being pleased to prosper our endeavours therein. " Again they piled hay and flax against the house and fired it; again the brave Englishmen went fi3rth and put out the flames. Then the wily Indians loaded a cart with inflammable material and thrust it down the hill to the tavern. But the Lord sent a rain for the salvation of His people, and when all were exhausted with the smoke, the August heat, the fumes of brimstone, and the burning powder, relief came in a body of men from Groton and one brought by a brave young man who had made his way by stealth from the besieged tavern to Boston.
