I still kept my senses. My brother was next. brought out, and asked the same question, how he chose to die. He boldly answered that he would die a protestant. On which they all shouted, and rushed forward, and piked him to death. Mr. Hornick was next brought out, and asked how he would die. He answered that he would die as he had lived. He was directly murdered. I then fainted, and continued insensible until my wife came for me in the evening. She found great difficulty in saving me, as there was an old man with a scythe examining the bodies, and striking on the head such as he found with any appearance of life. She took me to the bottom of the hill, where, finding I had life, she hid me. The next morning I was found there by the rebels, and brought up to the hill, from which I escaped by the help of a man that was to marry my daughter. About half a mile from the hill I was met by two men, one of whom fired at me. The ball grazed my head and stunned me. I there lay until my wife again found me. From that, until Vinegar-hill was taken by the king's troops, I lived in the fields and ditches.

well," said the prisoner, "I will take care of "him."

A. He came one day to Mr. Wheeler's house, where I had gone for safety. He was at the head of a party, of which he seemed to have the chief command.
