The following is a particular account of the besetting a
garrison at No. 4 in New-England, the 3d of last month, by
the Indians, Capt. How of Marlborough being then posted
there with his troop, viz.  . . . They hallow'd and hoop'd
round the fort 'till about midnight.  The next morn we beat
our drum as we us'd to do, but we did not open the gate. 
The Indians lay still 'till about sun three quarters of an
hour high, expecting we would open the gate as we us'd to
do, but we not going out, they began to fire again 'till
about ten o'clock, at which time they were seen to draw off
with large packs at their backs;. . .
