POCAHONTAS NO. 2.
She Was Cabassas Beauty and Know
as Schools.

She Was a Cabassas Beauty and Known
as Schools.
1t is generally known that in 1914
Captain John Smith, of Pocahontas
fame, made trip to what is now
Gardiner, Me-, but there was an incl
dent that occurred during that visit
that is known by very few people. The
incident in question resembles very
closely that of the Indian maiden Po-
cohontas that has been handed down te
posterity.
At the time of Smiths visit here the
valley of the Cobbossee-contee stream,
which at this point joins it's water with
the Kennebec river, was inhabited by a
powerful and intelligent branch of In.
dams called Cabassas, belonging to the
Kennebec clan. which was in turn one OF
the tribe of Abenakies. The Cabassas
were presided over by chief, having
headquarters at what is now Gardiner,
known as Cabassa, who had daughter
named Schools, famed among her tribe
for her beauty and grace. She was, UNI
fortunately, smitten at once with the
gallant Captain, who was, by the way,
the first white man to visit these parts,
and who was received with great cor
diality. Smith had with him a Lieu
tenant named Hunt, who was of rather
quarrelsome disposition and prone to
mutiny.
When the time came for the party of
whites to depart Hunts mutinous spirit
showed itself, and with small party OF
followers he left Smith, going in an op-
posite direction. His party took with
them as captives several of the tribe OF
Cabassas
The chief considering the whites one
party, by great mistake followed Cap
tain Smiths loyal band, which camped
that night about four miles from the
present location of Gardiner, in an east
erly direction. Schools thinking to
warn the Captain hurried on before the
party of enraged Indians, but arrived
too late, for as she arrived at the canp
the first volley of arrows was delivered.
Thinking to save Smith, she fed to
him, threw her arms about his neck,
and in that position received an arrow
In the breast that caused instant death.
The chief was palsied at the accident,
and ordered hostilities to cease. This
allowed Smith an opportunity to OK.
plain that it was the other party that
had perpetrated the kidnapping.
After sorrowful return and the
burial of Schools near the Randolph
church, opposite this city, the party OF
red men went in search of Hunt He
was overtaken near Norridgewock and
his band exterminated to man.
Captain Smith had the martyred Sc.
boots to thank for his life, for the arrow
that reached her heart was meant for
him. The grave of Schools is unmarked;
In fact its exact location is unknown

A MYSTERY.

That sunless day no living shadow swept
Across the hills, fleet shadow chasing Hight,
Twin of the sailing cloud; but mists, wool
white,
Slow stealing mists, on those heaved shout
ders crept
And wrought about the strong hills while they
slept
In witches wise. and rapt their forms from
sight
Dreams were they-less than dream, the no
blest height
And farthest; and the chilly woodland wept
sunless day and sad yet all the while
Within the grave green twilight of the wood
lnscrutable, immutable, apart,
Hearkening the brook. whose song she under
stood,
The secret birch tree kept her silver smile
Strange as the peace that CLEANS at sorrow =
