COW earlier IN the day, and used the
bell as a decoy to lure Mr.. Haley to
his destruction After the sad TRACE
dy the family went to the Isle of
Shoals, where they remained until
the Indian warfare was at an end,
and the settlers were at peace with
all the tribes.
When the Haley family came back
to lower Biddeford they found the
house still standing, and apparently
in as good condition as when they
had left it some years before. 1t is
still owned by the descendants of the
builders. It is an interesting relic Of
the early days of Maine and is strong
and firm enough to endure the raw
ages of another century.
Men Went Armed
When the Haleys first came here,
before Mr. Haley had been slaughter
ed by the Indians. Men went armed
to their labors in the fields, and the
women guarded the garrison. Some
of the sturdy females stood sentry,
while the others worked at the cards,
the wheels or the loom. One day in
the late fall, the women at the look
out saw two score of savages secreted
near the garrison, evidently listening,
intent on finding out If there were
any men in the garrison
The women on guard first decided
to fire the signal to call the men
home but fearing they would fall in
to ambush, on their return, they re-
sorted to a stratagem to brighten the
Indians They placed the hats Of
their husbands on poles and showed
them frequently at the small win
dows, and above the palisades. the
Indians were near enough to the gar
rison to hear the movements within.
In the upper story OF the garrison
was pile of golden pumpkins. The
women gathered these at the head Of
the stairs, and the woman with the
strongest voice commenced giving
commands, when a a given signal
the others, in regular intervals, roll
ed the pumpkins down stairs. This
sounded like the footsteps of a squad
of men rushing out of the house. At
the same time the women discharged
the muskets, and the Indians, two
score in number supposing they were
ior force, fed to the woods, and the
discovered and attacked by super
ueroic women ''held the fort"
