In the summer of 1614 , accorUing to

Allhough Smith wns n most. gallant I

UtUe headway , for the ohjoct. of her
nlTection was occupied with Important
affulrs and had no thno , even If he had
the Inclination , for senthnental udven.

When , having hoen most. cordially
received , Capt. Smith and his men
were ready to talee their departure
ono of his lieutenants named Hunt , a
quarrelsome and ambitious man , mu.
tlnled und , jolnod y some of the
part ) . , set out. on a now expedition ,
tal\lng along with them several of
the Cabassas tribe as captives.
The chler of the tribe , not Imowlng
of the mutiny , and thinking the whites
to be all of one party , pursued Capt.
Smith's band with a large rorce , eager
for revenge , Sebools , wishing to
warn thocaptaln , ran on uheud ot the
avenging braves and came upon the

'for the night , a Cew miles down the ,

The chief and his warriors were
close hehlnd , and just. as Sohools fiuns
herself In rront. of Cupt. Smith a show.

arrow pierced the dovotel malden's

The chlof of the Cabassas , amazed
amI horrlfled at. this tragedy , ordered
