Just as they got out on the shore to walk back, the Indians suddenly appeared almost over them, on the high cliffs opposite, and began to fire, causing a hurried retreat to the boats.

For some distance the Indians lined the bluffs, firing from the heights into the boats below.

Yet only four people were wounded, and they not dangerously.

One of them was a girl named Nancy Gower.

When, by the sudden onslaught of the Indians, the crew of the boat in which she was were thrown into dismay, she took the helm and steered, exposed to the fire of the savages.
