The New Hampshire Gazette

We learn by Capt. North from Georges Fort, at the Eastward, that on the 8th Instant he received an Express from Pleasant Point, acquainting him that the Indians had killed two of our Hunters on Penobscot River ; and that some of the Penobscot Indians informed Col.. Prebble, that they saw 120 Canada Indians pass them, while on an Island in the River ; and that their Intent was to fall upon St. Georges, Broad Bay, and Sheepscot ; and that those Men, supposed to be Indians, were seen by our Hunters within about two miles of George's Fort; upon which Capt. North fir'd an Alarm, expecting an Attack ; but the Enemy not appearing, there went out a Party of 21 Men, who returned without so much as discovering a single Track : So that the Report of our losing a Number of Cattle, is without Foundation, no Disturbance having happened in those Parts before the 8th Instant, at which Time he came from thence. 'Twas generally thought at the Eastward, that the above Reports were owing wholly to Disputes arisen between the Indians and our Hunters ; and it was also reported that some of the latter plundered some of the former.
