HEW.YORK, Decembi* 12.
ExtraA of a Utter from Capt. Bowers to hiefriend in Hanover, in
Morris county , dated at Colt's fort , 31 milts above Col. Van
Camp's, on the nver Delaware, on thefrontiers of the province
of New-frjy, Nou. 20, 1763.
13 th in ft. I received a letter from Ea
l Walton, whose ilatiou was at the
Snepecunck, eight miles below mine,
informing that 1 c or 20 men had that
morning been killed and fealped oppo.
file to Normanach, four miles from the
river, in the province of Pcnnfylvania.
I immediately sent two men to get the
belt intelligence I could of the affair; they returned at 10
o’clock at night, and reported that only 12 men went out, of
which fix were returned. I then marched with 12 men down
to my next Ration, where I arrived at two o’clock in tho
morning, and at fix crofted the river with 19 men, and was
soon joined by Capt. Dcnike of Somerset, with it of his
men, and others, to the number of 103 in all. We marched
in Indian file, with advanced guards, till we came to the
ground where the engagement had been the day before. We
found five persons killed, fealped, and butchered in a moft
inhuman manner, three of whom we buried as well as the
time and place would permit, the other two we brought down
to Nomanaclc, and interred the fame day.
** The persons killed were, Capt. Ernjatnin Westbrook,
William Cortwright, Nathaniel Carter, William Duncan,
Andrew Decker, (James Wilding, supposed to be made a
captive.) These were going, with the nx that returned, to
a place called Lacawack, 40 miles from the frontiers, to
bring down cattle and goods that were left when the inhabi
tants of that place were cut off, which happened about four
weeks before. We found one Indian killed io the above en
gagement, and concealed under the trunk of an old tree, who
was pulled out, and soon fealped by a brQther of one of the
white men that was killed at the fame time. We found on*
Indian gun, two bags of paint, one fealping knife, and a
large quantity of dried beef strung on flicks, and left in par
cels at the place where we found the dead bodies. It appear
ed to me that the persons killed made a valiant defence, and
wounded many of the Indians, by the blood found in many
of the places at a considerable diitance from where the fight
was. By the bed intelligence, there rnuft be 40 or 50 o£thc
Ravages, a number one would think fufficient to difticarten 12
men. I am, &c. LEMUEL BOWER S.”
Philadelphia, Dec. 13. A letter from Madeira, dated
Oftober ty, favs, ln the night between the lath and 13th
inst. the wind being southerly, was drove aihore upon the
rocks here, the (hip Robert and Betty, Capt. Thomas Cot
titnan, bound from Liverpool to South-Carol inn, with abott
240 pafifcngers on board, men, women, and children, who
propofodeo fettle upon the back frontiers of that province;
there were only 26 people saved in all; A melancholy in
stance this of the oad consequences of trading a reffel with
an improper commander. The Captain was a drunkest
worth less fellow, .and during two days he was here, before
the accident happened, never moored his vessel, but lay at
a single anchor; and without parting his coble (be fairly
drove in, and was upon the rocks to the eastward of the-boy,
before they let go a second anchor; for, though our road
was ful 1 of (hipping, * no vessel thar was properly moored, fe
much as drove, excepting a fmali (loop from North-Carolina
with lumber, the Ranger, Solomon Span ton, who parted
an old rotten cable of only 30 fathom long,, and, driving
foul of another vessel, was cut adrift and came aihore also,
for all the people were faved/* •
