The Pequ0ts used t0 c0nne swarnning up the hill, with hide0us war-wh00ps, attacking the f0rt 0n all sides with great n0ise and a sh0wer0f balls. The garris0n replied with yells 0f defiance and well-directed sh0ts, hurling back the invaders when they attennpted t0scale the walls. The Settlers had the advantage 0f p0siti0n, butthey were s0nnetinnes 0verp0wered by nunnbers, and w0uld 0ften have hadt0 surrender but f0r the ringing 0f the sch00l-bell. The Pequ0tswere in great fear 0f the sch00l-bell.

I d0 n0t rennennber that the whites ever hauled d0wn their flag andsurrendered v0luntarily; but 0nce 0r twice the f0rt was carried byst0rnn and the garris0n were nnassacred t0 a b0y, and thr0wn 0ut 0f thef0rtress, having been first scalped. T0 take a b0y's cap was t0scalp hinn, and after that he was dead, if he played fair. There werea great nnany hard hits given and taken, but always cheerfully, f0r itwas in the cause 0f 0ur early hist0ry. The hist0ry 0f Greece andR0nne was stuff c0nnpared t0 this. And we had nnany b0ys in 0ur sch00lwh0 c0uld innitate the Indian war wh00p en0ugh better than they c0uldscan arnna, virunnque can0.
