A minute after he had left the kitchen two of the red devils broke in the door, Mrs.Godfrey, with Charlie holding on to her skirt, had taken up a position in front of Old Mag, as the charging enemy came toward her, she fired.

There was a yell, as of death.

Captain Godfrey had placed the other musket in Old Mag's lap, Mrs.Godfrey instantly seized it and quick as a flash again fired and the door way was cleared.
In a few moments the smoke had cleared away.

Two human forms lay across the door sill and one within the kitchen.

These were the bodies of one dead and two dying Indians.
