The narrow trail through the forest, led in a southeast direction, along the shore of the East River, till it reached what was called Kip's Bay.

Then, diverging to the west, it passed near the pond of fresh water, which was about half way between what are now Broadway and Chatham streets.

This pond, for a century or more, was known as the Kolck or the Collect.
When the Indians reached this point, they were waylaid by three white men, robbed of their furs, and the elder one was murdered.

The boy made his escape and returned to his wilderness home, vowing to revenge the murder of his uncle.

It does not appear that the Dutch authorities were informed of this murder.
