Σελίδα 21 - ... they divided their little families, the children clinging to their parents ; they fell on their faces, protested their innocence, declared their love to the English, and that, in their whole lives, they had never done them any injury ; and in this posture they all received the hatchet. Men, women, and children — infants clinging to the breast — were all inhumanly butchered in cold blood."* But the vengeance of the fanatics was not satiated.
