Maine Lumberjacks 129
2 T was nigh unto Pigwacket,
on the eighth day of May, They spied a rebel Indian
soon after break of day; He on a bank was walking,
upon a neck of land, Which leads into a pond
as we're made to understand.

and traveird two miles round, Until they met the Indian,
who boldly stood his ground; Then speaks up Captain Lovewell,

in some place nigh at hand, " In order to surround us
upon this neck of land; "Therefore well march in order,
and each man leave his pack, "That we may briskly fight them
when they make their attack."

who did them thus defy, As soon as they came nigh him, two guns he did let fly, |
