the morning came. they rowed ashore.
They knelt on the ground and thanked
God that they had arrived safely. They
sang hymns OF praise until the dark
woods rang with their joyful voices.
They were happy that trey had found
freedom and a new home.

Their first task was building homes.

At one time there were only a half
lozen well people to take care of the

time half of the little band had died.
They leveled off the burial grounds so

The Indians also showed them how TO
plant corn as they did. The first SUR

they had plenty of food 70 store for

supply of wood for the winters use;
they hunted wild turkeys and deer and

noon they played games with the IN
