LOVELL'S FIGHT WITH THE PEQUAWKETS
IN TIIE YEAR 1725.
On the margin of a little lake in the town
ship of Fryeburg, in the Slate of Maine, is the
spot where the pride of tho powerful tribe of
the Pequawkets was broken, and tho scene of
the desperato conflict, maintained by the gal
lant and unfortunate Captain Lovell, and his
little band, with tiie red warriors who formerly
possessed the fertile and beautiful intervales of
the Saco.
Lovell bad been long distinguished among
the partisan warriors of the times. His
former success had been great. On one occa
sion, he surprised and killed a party of ten sa
vages, whose scalps, stretched on hoops and ele
vated on poles, were borne back in triumph.—
His reputation called, to the ranks of so distin
guished a commander, a band of brave men,
cagor to revenge the outrages committed on tho
infant settlements.
The fervor of patriotism was animated by the
bounty of ono hundred pounds each, oifered by
the government for these bloody trophies, not
often taken from a living enemy. In the month
of May, in tiro year 1725, with forty-six men,
he commenced tire expedition which terminat
ed Iris military career.
Two of these soldiers, becoming lame, re
turned, another, failing sick, was left with the
surgeon and a guard and eight men, in a stock
ade fort, erected partly as a place of security
for the sick, and partly with a wise providence
against misfortune, as a retreat. With the re
maining thirty-four, he continued his march
northward, until the morning of the eighth
day of the month.
It was while engaged in the devotional exer
cises of their morning worship, that the report
of a musket echoed through tho forest, and
they discovered an Indian, in pursuit of his
game standing alone upon a narrow point of
land extending into the reqtiawket lake, oil the
side opposite to their encampment.
Thus apprized of tho neighborhood of tireir
foe thoy laid aside their packs, arid prepared
for the encounter. They advanced, encom
passing the lake in their course, and arrived at
the head of the peninsula. The savage had
awaited them, either ignorant of their ap
proach, as, from the most authentic accounts,
is most probable, or, with the spirit of a Cur
tius, devoting himself, as some have supposed,
to inevitable destruction, that lie might allure
the English to a position where defeat would
be certain.
He received their fire; but, before he fell, re
turned it with so deadly an effect, that the cap
tain and another soldier were mortally wound
ed. The party having secured their victim,
returned towards the spot where they had left, j
their packs. But their course had crossed the !
path of the rod men, who had followed, and, ;
javinn; seized the spoil, knew the number of:
ithcir foes, and, when Lovell and his company !
[approached, thoy rose from tiie earth with an I
exulting yell, and showered their death shots
fast upon the devoted hand.
The white men retreated, and, protected by ;
tho natural defences of tho situation to which
necessity had driven them, and sheltered by j
those pines which still bear the scars of the bat- i
tic, maintained themselves for a whole dav, ;
with heroic resolution, against an overwhelm- !
ing force. Although invited to surrender, by j
the display of long ropes, which, in tho exprcs-
Sivo Lnguago of signs, told them of tho luxu- j
ries of captivity, tliey fought with a doternii- j
lation to meet a quick and honorable death, i
rather than to expire amid the torments of a
protracted martyrdom.
Night at length arrived, and the savages, !
veary of tho contest., and disheartened by
he loss of their chief, and of more than three
ourtlis of their warriors,and desparing of over
oming such obstinate re istance, retired, and
.[re miserable remnant of their opponents, who
urvived the battle, were suffered to escape.
It was no time then for indulging nice feel
ngs of delicacy. Of all those who had knelt :
lefore thoir Creator at the dawn, sixteen only -
:ould bow in adoration at evening, to pour
orth their thanksgivings to their Preserver, (
hat amid such perils, they had escaped un- i
mrt; ten were gone to their final account, and i
ight were groaning with the agony of mortal
rounds.
i The conjuncture did not admit of delay; |
vhile they yet paused, the bullet might beaim
d at their own hearts, they could not wait'
niger, to pay tho lust tribute of respect to
teir dead companions, lest they, too, should ,
eep in their last repose—they could not de- |
ty, to sympathize with those whose life was
rst ebbing out, for tliey might share thoir fate. |
ilently they retired and abandoned boll).
►Some of the wounded gathered strength to
awl from the spot where thoy fell, to perish
ore miserably from putrefaction and starva
on. A situation more miserable cannot be
lagined. Tliey had sustained tho labors of
le day without food, for their stores had been
iptuied with their packs, at tho place of their
orning repast, and tliey endured tho cold of
ight without a covering.
Tho moon Bhone forth brilliantly, and tliey
y, faint and expiring, suffering the gnawings
hunger, the tormenting* of thirst and the
;onies of pain, abandoned by their friends,
rsaken by tho hope of escape, while the light
sclosed the ghastly countenances and mail
ed forms of the slain, and tho wind boro to
eir oars the shouts of the savages, fierce ns
o shrieks of fiends.
Heavily must that long, long night have
ssed, to those who waited till death, steuling
iwly over their exhausted frames, should
jthe their miseries; and gloomily rose the
vvn on the eyes, which wore yet uiiglazcd by
e thick film.

; was tlic single combat of Paugus, the chieftain,
' with Chamberlain, a soldiei, both men of un
daunted courage of mind, and gigantic pro
portions of body. Their guns had become too
j foul for further use, and botli went down to
[ the water's brink to wash them, at the same
j moment.
Standing near each other, they exchanged
j words of mutual defiance, and loaded their
t pieces with corresponding motions. It is said,
j as Paugus forced down the ball, he called out
ito his opponent, "Me kill you quick." "May
he not," was the laconic reply; and the gun of
Chamberlain priming itself gave him an op
portunity to falsify the prediction of the ravage,
whose hall passed over the white man with tiie
erring aim of a dying foe.
It is also said, while Chamberlain was taking
' deadly aim, the Indian called, to acquaint liim
i that he had omitted the motion, whose antiei
j pation was so fatal to the chief: it might have
i been from a magnanimity not very consistent
| with the character of tho red hunters; or it
might have been from llie exultation of expect
ed eonq st, when he supposed his enemy ne
glected what was so necessary, at a moment
when mistake or neglect could not be retriev-
I ed. * * * * *
Captain Lovell, mortally wounded by tho
shot of the single Indian, at the commencement
lof the battle, received another hall. Ho fell
| and expired, with eight more of his company,
j killed by the first discharge, and the command
j devolved on Lieutenant VVyman, who sustain-
I od tho conflict during the day, and survived the
hardships of tho march.
The preservation of a soldier named Kies
; was little less than miraculous. Covered with
wounds, exhausted with fatigue, ami faint from
the loss of blood, lie rolled himself with diflicul
| ty into a birch canoe, providentially lying by
i tho spot, not with the hope of escape, but that
| his remains might be preserved from horrible
mutilation.
I Unable to use the paddle, he lay almost in
: sensible in the trail vessel, was drifted by the
! waves arid wafted by the winds, towards the
I stockade, and, when returning strength revisit
ed his frame, lie arose, and reached his home.
At a distance of some time, a party went out
to the battle field. They found the bodies of
1 twelve of their friends, and, after covering 4)e:ii
j with sand, carved their names on the bark of a
tree, which lias now decayed. Beneath a large
| mound were laid the slain Indians, and the
hugo lorm of the sachem Paugus.
i Such are the particulars of a battle, which
j was of incalculable advantage to the infant set
: tlements. From that period the slumbers of
the cradle were no more broken by the war
j whoop, and the father, whon lie laid his head
i on the pillow, no longer feared that the shouts
| of murderous savages would rise around the
| cottage.
Tho place is now almost daily visited by
' strangers, who, with a reverence due to de
! parted valor, perform a pilgrimage to tho spot
; where its highest cftbits have been performed,
i On the shores ol' the pond, a sandy beach
spreads out, coveied with aged trees, and
j bounded on one side by a meadow, and ternii
: nated by an inconsiderable brook, which, being
J swollen in the spring time, by the waters pour
; ed from the dissolving snows of tho mountains,
; forms a narrow peninsula
; Here tho small company, engaged in this
j celebrated and rash expedition, retreated, with
j the savages oil their front and (lank, and the
' waters on their right and rear, and continued
tho work of death, till the enemy, learning too 1
< late that the desperation of the lew is mightier
; than the courage of tho many, retired, leaving j
; the survivors of tho fight to enjoy a triumph j
gained by the loss of more than half their nuin- |
! bcr.
It is not by the inconsiderable forces engaged !
in this battle, that we are to estimate its con- j
I sequences. It should be remembered, that tho j
! Indians, irritated by a long series of injuries, j
and with a strong effort to stem the torrent of j
| desolation which was sweeping over their j
hopes, had dug up the hatchet, and, to the j
hardships of a settlement in the wilderness, j
J were added the horrors of a ruthless warfare.
| The pilgrims of thoso days listened, in the j
still watches of the night, for tho footfall of >
the invuders; the musket was tho companion
of his toijs and of his pillow, and too often the
fierco yells of unsparing foes came on tho si
lence, and the flames rose from his dwelling,
and his children were murdered, and himself
carried into captivity, to expire in the tortures j
inflicted in the sportiveness of cruelty.
The defeat of a hundred was, to them, even
as the slaughter of the thousands, on tho blood- j
stained field of Waterloo, to the conqueror of
Europe. It broke their spirit, and from that J
hour the star of the nation grew pale, till it •
went out in darkness.
When wo stood upon the battle ground, the j
sun was just setting, and tho thoughts lliat
pressed upon the mind were many and melan
choly. He went down as calmly on the eve
of that day of carnage—the wind sighed as
mournfully through the evergreens of the fo
rest —the waters curled as gently—tho mur
mur that came on tho departing twilight was '
as sad—and the woods waved with a motion
as graceful as they now do.
But, then, tho last lays of fading light fell
on the eyes that were soon to be closed in eter
nal darkness—the breeze mingled its solemn
wail with the groans of 'lie dying soldier—the
waters roiled along, stained with the red cur
rent of life, and the trees shaded the cold corses
of the slain.
All around was so calm and still, that it
were an insult to nature to make so lovely a
solitude the scene of contention, and to oflbr
human sacrifices on tho purpled altar of vio
lence. The sounds of merriment, tho rejoicing
of mirth, tho pleasant song, or the sprightly
dance, were more in harmony with the quiet
beauty of the spot, than the iudo confusion of
warfare, and the desolation of slaughter.
It was well that the floods had come, and
washed the soil from tho red stains, and the
storms had spread out the white sands over the
spot where they had fought. A hundred years
have gone by, and, as yet, no monument has
been raised to preserve to posterity tho memo
ry of the plaee of tho combat.
The gratitude of a century has dono nothing
to perpetuate the names of those who havo ad
ded to the inheritance of our honors. Long
after the warriors had fallon, and after the
eagle and tho wolf had been gorgod with their
mortal rotnuins, tho scattered relics were ga
thered, and buried at tho foot of an aged pine.
Tho fire lias since scathed its branches, and
blasted its verdure; tho trunk has decayed, and
each traveller carries away a fragment from its

| To Dr. . 11. Schcnck—Sir: This is to certify thai
| my wife, Ann daily, had a severe attack of llilinus
PltirUy in the winter of 1832, after being relieved oi
j that she complained of a pain in her breast and side,
attended with a severe cough and lightness in her
chest. I had the advice of the best physicians in the
1 oily, but none of them could give lnr any relief; they
all pronounced her ease incurable. I then got six.
j bottles of Swaim's Panacea, but she could gel uo re
lief, Iter cough still increased. Site tried every tiling
j that was recommended through the papers for coti-
I sumption, but could get no relief, In r cough got so
j severe at times she would have to sit down in the
I street, and when walking she would frequently get in
a kind of stupor and fall prostrate on the door; a pal
! pilation of the heart and pain in the loins, with dizzi
ness in the head, would follow. I then gave up all
hopes of her ever being cured, and looked for her
j death every day, having lingered for twelve years,
and could get no relief until last June, seeing Doctor
' Schenck's advertisement in the Fun, I was deter
| mined she should try the Pulmonic Syrup; I went to
your agent, Mr. Warren, and pttrcha ed a bottle of
lite Fyiup; he told me if she would persevere with it,
l it would certainly cute her. Alter she used two bot
j lies it began to make her very sick, and she lUtiur >vc
a great quantity of thick, tough matter, ValTtJut"
i relief, and could breathe more freely; after using the
j eight bottles the pain left her side and breast. She
throw up a great quantity of matter all the time; after
| Hie t< nth bottle tier appetite began to come, and from'
I that time she has been getting belter. She its now
well', thank Cod, and through the use of your vul 11 a
! Idc Syrup. You may make what use of litis you like,
and J recommend all persons afflicted in the same
I way, to use the Pulmonic Syrup, and with the help
