逃 生
in 1697 a band of indian warriors attacked a white settlement at haverhill in massachusetts, and carried off many captives, including a mrs hannah dustin and her maid mary neff. the captives were divided up between the warriors.
hannah and mary were given to a pair of warriors and their squaws. they were made to carry heavy loads, and were told that when they reached the indian village they would be stripped and made to run the gauntlet till they died. after six weeks of travelling, hannah caught the 12 indians off guard. while they were sleeping, she took their tomahawks, and together with mary proceeded to kill them all except an old woman and a child. she scalped them and returned to haverhill, and was awarded £ 50 for the ten indian scalps.
