several teres of ground and was built I
on hlch ground surrounueu ny a
treacherous swamp. It was prulirt

driven deep into the ground and it
onl entrance was over a narrow lug
bridge. It wss probably the
stronghold ever built by Indians, unJ
In It were 3.000 red men.
tt'luslow's army arrived lute In the
afternoon of December 11). and, de
spite the fnct that the colonists were
weary from their long march throiuh J
the snow, sn attack was launched Im
mediately. Again and aKnln they were
driven back as they tried to gain un
eutrance over the log bridge. Six of
their captains and a large number of
soldiers were killed. Then Capt. Hen
Jamln Church, the most famous New
Kncland Indian fighter, assailed the
rear of the fort where It was least
protected, and although he was shot
three times he succeeded In leadlni;
his men over the walls.
Inside the stronghold the batlle
raged more fiercely than ever, for tbe
Indians put op a stubborn defense
from within their wigwams, made bid
, let proof by the great stores of food
piled In them. Finally Church gave
the order to fire the wigwams, und as
the lodges burst into flames the In
dians were forced out into the open.
But It wss a costly victory for the
whites, for their loss was $0 killed
and 150 wounded.
Nearly 1,000 of the Indians were
killed or died of cold and hunger n
afterward. The power of the Narra
ganserts was broken. King Philip
escaped, bat the capture of Sunke
Squaw was the beginning of the end.
