When the Indians were in the act of jumping on shore she ordered them to take the boat back to the place from whence they had loosed it.

One of the Redskins, a tall, muscular fellow, who could speak some English, asked her if she would get into the boat and go with them.

If so, the boat would be taken back and made fast.

She replied, "I have no doubt you are an honest man and would do no injury to a weak, pale-faced woman, I will go with you." And as she said these words, she sprang into the boat and sat down, resting the musket upon her knees.
The Indians paddled the boat back to the place whence they had loosed it, and not one of them uttered a word.

After the boat had been made fast Mrs.Godfrey was assisted ashore by the tall, muscular savage, his four companions walking away without saying a word.
