At such time and place as they may think convenient, to consult and treat with tlie said Susquehainia Indians, and l)y the use of all lawful and fitting means, (if they can, ) to conclude a league and peace, on the behalf of this government and the inhabitants tliereof. With the said Susquehanna Indians, so as the peace, safety..., and advantage of the inhabitants here may be, (so far as in them lies, ) thereby advanced, settled, and preserved. " All of tlie ])ersons named as connnissioners were, with the exception of Richard Bennett, inliabitants of Providence. ® . The commissioners proceeded at once to their work. On the fifth of July following, a treaty of peace was concluded with the Sus(|ueliannas, "at the River of Severn, in the Province of Maryland. " It is not difficult to picture the canoe of the formidable Susquehan- na?, decked with feathers and paint, armed witli bow and tomahawk, dashing with daring skillfulness from Greenljury's to Sycamore point, and thence to Windmill, and out again to theohlng, and fading in thw dim sunset up the Chesapeake before the steady gaze of thesturdv Puritans, nor the ripple of excitement that moved the little settle- ment when these formidable saA'ages appeared in its midst.
