who died romantlcnlly whllo shloldlng
the gnllnnt cllptaln from arrows almod

In the summer of 1614 , accorUing to
the papers , Calt. Smith made a vlsft
to the Kennebec valley , ascending the

standa the city of Oardlner. Sobools ,
dRughte1' oC the chief , famed among

Captmlth had scarcely set. foot In
the "fllaso when she struck UII an ac.

win his favor. I
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.
tures.
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
whlto mer. just. as they had encamped
'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.
er of arrows fell upon the camp. One
arrow pierced the dovotel malden's
breast. as she stood shielding the cap ,
taln , and thus , whllo ho was saved ,
she Cell dead at. his Coet ,
The chlof of the Cabassas , amazed
amI horrlfled at. this tragedy , ordered
hostilities to cease , and thus Smlt.h
had an oP110rtunity to explain that It
was the mutineers who had talten the
captlvos. 'I'ho red men conveyed the
