every time we killed or wounded some of them, but still they did not fly,
and yet they were so frighted that they used none of their bows and arrows,
or of their lances; and we thought their numbers increased upon our hands,
particularly we thought so by the noise. So I called to our men to halt,
and bid them pour in one whole volley and then shout, as we did in our
first fight, and so run in upon them and knock them down with our muskets.

But they were too wise for that too, for as soon as we had fired a whole

that in a few moments we could not see one creature of them except some
that were wounded and lame, who lay wallowing and screaming here and there
upon the ground as they happened to fall.

Upon this we came up to the field of battle, where we found we had killed
thirty-seven of them, among which were three women, and had wounded about
sixty-four, among which were two women; by wounded I mean such as were so
maimed as not to be able to go away, and those our negroes killed

men; these we ordered them to pick up, and they were very useful to us
afterwards. After the fight, and our negroes had gotten bows and arrows, we
sent them out in parties to see what they could get, and they got some
provisions; but, which was better than all the rest, they brought us four
