Annapolis, September 2. . .  A certain John Row who was on
Friday the 20th of August taken prisoner by the party of
Indians that at that time made an incursion into this
province, being examined by Thomas Caton a Virginia
magistrate, declares, that the evening after he was made a
prisoner, the party of Indians by whom he was taken, being
39 in number, carried him to Little Conococheague, where
they made fires, and had a war-dance, but seemed to be very
apprehensive of danger.  The second day . . . spent their
evening in dancing and shewing scalps to each other . . .
