The poor sons of Erin, in their agony of terror, had barely time to raise their arms in supplication, when arrows filled their bodies and tomahawks .cleft their brains Two of the men who wore long hair, were scalped; but the other fit e, their heads be ing close shaved, lay undisfigured when found.
