Captains were at the mercy of their

query, trst from one minister and then
the other: do YOU promise?"

heads, under they were doused once more.

And then Parson Dawson, whose iron

silence and standing right there in the
water called down a benediction on the
assembled warriors of Starks and Byron
and invoked peace that has not been
broken since.
