Farwell, lieutenant Robbins and Robert Usher, were
wounded. The survivors, with the wounded, then fell
back to the pond, and took a position where a point of
rocks secured the left, and an unfordable brook the right,
a morass stretching along part of the front; and cover-
ing themselves behind trees, they renewed the attack on
the enemy, who had now pressed closely on, and opened
their fire with great spirit. Ensign Seth Wyman, who
now commanded, resolving to maintain his position to
the last extremity, continued his fire with great spirit,
and several of his men were soon bady wounded. Every
art was essayed by the enemy, to induce the English to
surrender; but disregarding them, they continued their
fire, with destructive eflFect. Towards night the yella
and fire of the Indians became less frequent, from which
it was concluded they were about to draw off, and the
conjecture proved correct: for after collecting their killed
and wounded, they disappeared about sunset, leaving
the bodies of Lovewell and others, who fell in the first
attack, unscalped. The loss of the Indians was sup-
posed to be severe ; among which, it was afterwards as-
certained, was the chief, Pagus.
