Code entry
In the "Introduction to the Report on General Oglethorpe's Expedition to St. Augustine," we read that... "In the beginning of 1728, a Party of those Yamasees having landed at Daffuskee surprised one of our Scout-Boats, and killed every Man but Capt. Gilbert, who commanded her. One of the Indians, seizing him as his Property, saved his Life. In their Return back to St. Augustine a debate arose that it was necessary to kill him, for that the Governor would not have them to bring any one Alive. But Capt. Gilbert, pleading with the Indian that claim'd him was protected by him; and upon coming to St. Augustine was after some Time released by the Governor." (Note: De la Vega seems to date this attack a yenr later) (quoted in Swanton)
