continued to defend - themselves, while
they retreated to the v«*ry*water« edge,
directly under the walls of Battle rock,
aod thereby had one side protected
from attack. Tbe whites saw at a
giauco that their only hope of escape
consisted in gaining tbe summit of this
rock, aud they immediately ma*ie tbe

captain, who hid closely watched the
proceedings of tbe Indians, and
ueeing the utter hopelessness of render­

slipped his anchor.and with tbe assist­

procure aid and return to tbe rescue of
the unfortunate band.
Tbe number of the'Tndians on the

. Henry VIII died one day with great
sneoeas. He left three children who
did not dare to go with him. Their
names were Alary, El*z«beth and Ed­

ily. He was a b >y. His sisters were
not. Their father also left a will. Hia
will was stronger than all bi* Children.
By will, E»rl Hertford waa to b ias the

only ten years young. Hertford loved

The border men of Eugland and Scot­

Scotch loss Waa 10 000 and the Englul

History lies, probably. Tba
government told the people wbat to be­

they must pay taxes to support their be­
