" Yet it is a very grateful task withal, and since my time is of the briefest, I will essay it without further introduction. I wish that it were possible to present here some picture of the far-off Saybrook of 1646 which should be at once minute and graphic. We would give much for authentic portraits of that group in the Great Hall of the Fort which should reveal to us the outward seeming of feature, form and dress, of those from whom so many of us are sprung. But that may not be, and, for one,... I respect them too much to attempt to be wise beyond what is written ; tricking these worthies out in shreds of rhetoric and clothing them with vain imaginings. We may be quite certain, however, that the place of meet- ing was the Great Hall of the Fort, which had now for some ten years been the centre of the corporate life of the little community. Thither, no doubt, on a February day nine years before, Lion Gardiner and Robert Chapman had brought the two sorely wounded men, whose retreat from the neck of land between the coves they had covered with naked swords, leaving two or three other companions shot dead with Pequot arrows.
