Bloody Point

But they having quickly descried our companie, launched one great and another small boate, being about 16 or 18 persons, and very narrowly escaping, put themselves to sea. Whereupon our souldiers discharged their calivers and followed them, thinking the noise therof being hearde to our boats at sea, our men there woulde make what speede they might to that place. And therupon, indeede, our men whiche were in the boats (crossing uppon them in the mouth of the sounde, whereby their passage was let from getting sea roome, wherein it had bin impossible for us to overtake them by rowing) forced them to put themselves ashore upon a point of lande within the said sound (which upon the occasion of the slaughter there was since named the Bloudie Point) whereunto our men so speedily followed, that they hadde little leysure lefte them to make any escape.

But they quickly spotted our company, launched one great and another small boat, being about 16 or 18 persons, and, very narrowly escaping, put themselves to sea. Our soldiers then fired their calivers and followed them. They thought that if the noise were heard by our boats at sea, our men there would make what speed they might to that place. And so indeed our men who were in the boats crossed upon them in the mouth of the sound, so that they were stopped from getting sea room. Had they reached open water, it would have been impossible for us to overtake them by rowing. They forced them to put themselves ashore upon a point of land within the sound, which, because of the slaughter there, was afterward named the Bloody Point. Our men followed them there so quickly that they had little time left them to make any escape.
