17. 102 THOMAS CORNWALEYS Ihonadoes and Wicomeses, to the number of two hundred and fifty, sprang upon the colonists of Maryland. Three Englishmen were killed and one Indian. Captain Corn- waleys, "that noble, right valiant and politic soldier, " losing but one more man, killed, with fifty-three raw and tired Marylanders, twenty-nine savages. ^^ Yet this severe chas- tisement did not seem to suffice. According to Streeter, the Captain made one or more expeditions subsequent to this, which must ...have ended in disaster.^^ On June 18, 1644, a commission was issued to Captain Henry Fleete, who was to go to the fort at Piscataway, to negotiate with a deputation from the Susquehanocks. In the instructions given to Fleete, one article especially directed him to obtain the restitution of "as much as you can gett of the armes & other goods lost or left in our last march upon them, at least the two feild pieces. " He was furthermore authorized to conclude peace with these Indians to the honor, safety and advantage of the English.
