His dates are probably correct, as Boon must have written only from memory.] The first time the garrison was taken by surprise; one man lost his scalp, and four were wounded, including Boon himself, who had been commissioned as captain in the county militia.
[Footnote: Two of the other wounded men were Captain John Todd and Boon's old hunting companion, Stoner.] The Indians promptly withdrew when they found they could not carry the fort by a sudden assault.

On the second occasion the whites were on their guard, and though they had one man killed and two wounded (leaving but thirteen unhurt men in the fort), they easily beat off the assailants, and slew half a dozen of them.

This time the Indians stayed round two days, keeping up a heavy fire, under cover of which they several times tried to burn the fort.

Logan's [Footnote: Boon says July 19th, Clark's diary makes it May 30th: Clark is undoubtedly right; he gives the names of the man who was killed and of the two who were wounded.] station at St.Asaphs was likewise attacked; it was held by only fifteen gunmen.

When the attack was made the women, guarded by part of the men, were milking the cows outside the fort.

The Indians fired at them from the thick cane that still stood near-by, killing one man and wounding two others, one mortally.
[Footnote: The name of the latter was Burr Harrison; he died a fortnight afterward .-- Clark.] The party, of course, fled to the fort, and on looking back they saw their mortally wounded friend weltering on the ground.
