Captain George Chicken, a 'brave and bold' officer, marched northwards from the Ponds with one hundred and twenty of the Goose Creek militia. In a pitched battle, June 13, he roundly punished the raiders, released several prisoners and recaptured some of the arms seized at Schenkingh's.32 [Note 32 Doc. cit., supra, note 17; Samuel Eveleigh to Boone and Berres£ord, July 19, August 24, 1715; Commons House commissioners to same, August 25, 1715 (C.O. 5 :1265, Q 66) ; Boston News Letter, July 11, 1715; Humphreys, Historical Account, pp. 99 £.; Rivers, Sketch, p. 265; C.O.
