Eight years later another attempt to recover this house from Aulnay resulted in the death of Captain Thomas Wannerton, of Pascataqua ; the expedition which was in the interest of La Tour was unsuccessful, but the English participants in the undertak- ing were encouraged to believe that they could recover the East- ern Country for themselves, and planned reprisal at an early date.


While New Plymouth evinced no further interest in the recov- ery of Machabitticus territory, Massachusetts mercenaries who had been implicated in the La Tour exploit advocated recapture and retention from Aulnay, to control the Indian trade about

Penobscot River. The former proprietors, however, did not ig- nore the prospect of collecting outstanding claims, and August 31, 1644, Edward Winslow, then governor, assigned to John Win- throp, the younger, Samuel Maverick and Captain Thomas Haw- kins, the right to force Aulnay to pay for personal property, valued at 500 pounds sterling, which had been taken "violently and injuriously" about ten years before.


The conversion had taken place when Aulnay had seized Castine and retained the merchandise and equipment of "the Agents and servts. of Edward Winslow, William Bradford, Thomas Prence, and others their ptners at Matchebiguatus, in Penobscot."#


The claim was presented to the French governor the follow- ing year, but no warlike demonstration was undertaken and Muscongus district, as well as Pemaquid plantation, remained undisturbed, until 1654. February 8, of that year, a commission was issued by Cromwell to Major Robert Sedgwick, of Boston, to subdue the Dutch and other English enemies in North America. To accomplish that purpose, a fleet of four vessels, comprising the Augustine, Black Raven, Church and Hope, was mobilized in the Thames and sailed from Portsmouth, England.§


After the Dutch settlements in New York had surrendered without bloodshed, the victorious squadron undertook to exhibit real prowess and proficiency by sweeping up the Northern Coast and overwhelming the French strongholds in Eastern Maine and Nova Scotia. While Acadia was reoccupied, without opposition, by New England troops, it was retained only until 1656, when the entire province was restored to interests representing both na- tionalities and defined as extending westward to "Pentacoet and the River of St. George to muscontus."*


The district was bounded westerly by New England and northerly by an imaginary line situated one hundred leagues in- land. All specific measurements were augmented by the expres- sion "et plus avant, jusqu'à la première habitiation faite par les Flamans ou Francois, ou par les Anglois de Nouvelle Angleterre." Such liberal interpretation extended each dimension to "the first dwelling erected by Flemings, French or English in New Eng- land." With that idea in mind French inhabitants of Nova Scotia

regarded the house of John Brown at New Harbor as the eastern boundary mark of New England.


In 1688, Edward Randolph accompanied Governor Andros in an eastern tour of inspection. He described the old English fort at Penobscot, "formerly made up with stone and turfe," as "gone to ruin ;" in fact, nothing was found on that site. In that vicinity, however, they visited a fortified dwelling which had been built by Aulnay after the Plymouth employes were evicted in 1635; the French establishment was then in possession of Sieur de Castin as sole proprietor in that district .¡

MACHIAS RIVER


In 1632, Isaac Allerton, who had been discharged as manager of the trading posts of New Plymouth at Kennebec and Penob- scot, formed a partnership with Richard Vines, of Saco, and some others, to trade with eastern Indians.


In the summer of that year, while returning from a coasting expedition, both witnessed the delivery of seizin of Cape Eliza- beth to John Winter. Other persons present at that time were John Oldham and Thomas Cammock.


The latter must have been convinced that the partnership venture would be a profitable one, for he remarked only a few days later : "All the good that is to bee done in thes partes, for trade, is towards the Eastwarde with a good shallopp * * all- most to the Scotts plantation, wher I know ther is more store of beaver and better tradinge than is heer with us."*


The governor of New Plymouth complained of the aggressive conduct of Allerton as a rival in eastern trade. He claimed that the former manager of that colony's business had engaged un- principled agents to do his trading along the coast; that he not only sent them up the Kennebec "to gleane away ye trade from ye house ther," but also had established a new post "beyoned Penobscote to cute of ye trade from thence also."+


However, it was not until 1633 that Vines undertook to estab- lish the post to which Bradford alluded. In that year, while trad- ing on the eastern coast of Maine near the site of the former Scotch plantation, which had been acquired by the French within a few months, Vines and La Tour, the Canadian governor, met and exchanged commodities to mutual advantage. At that time, by reason of the treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, La Tour claimed exclusive right to trade as far west as Pemaquid, but he gave Vines special permission to dispose of his unsold merchan- dise in the ordinary course of trade on his way home, with the express condition that no station should be built or fortified with- in French territory.

MACHIAS RIVER


Nevertheless, the English upon arrival at Machias erected a small wigwam for shelter and stored their goods. Five men were left in charge by Vines, who reembarked with the rest of his crew for Saco. The Indian name for the river was Damache.


Two days later La Tour reappeared and took possession of the premises which, he afterwards asserted, had been fortified with two small cannon. After some resistance three of the Eng- lish defenders were killed, or fatally injured, and the others with their confiscated property were conveyed to Port Latour.


According to the account of Bradford, previously quoted, "This was the end of yt projecte," and the loss was "most, if not all, Mr. Allerton's; for though some of them should have been his partners, yet he trusted them for their partes."


In January, 1635-6, Allerton returned in his vessel from the French settlement at Port Latour, where he had failed to ransom his two Englishmen, who had been taken by La Tour at Machias and sent to France as prisoners of war.

THE RECALL OF NEAL AND ASSOCIATES


There is no doubt that the Laconia Company recalled its Pas- cataqua employes because "returns" had been unsatisfactory. The list of those who returned with Neal in 1633 is a compilation based on later statements of the men themselves or other per- sons of equal veracity. Subsequently, all but three appear to have come back to America.


Those who remained in England were Adrian Tucker, Neal who, although an experienced military officer, failed to secure

The residence of Card at Pascataqua was not indicated. He may have lived in Maine or New Hampshire. His location seems to have been farther from Dover Point than Newichawannock, where he stored his household furniture. His habitation may have stood at Thompson's Point, where the Indians had ancient planting ground. This position would have been about midway between the cabin of Cammock in Eliot and the fort at Newichawannock.

Maine history. All of the evidence points unmistakably to Walter Neal, who had had charge of Laconia Plantation.


During his three years of service at Pascataqua he had traversed the Maine coast half a dozen times in the exercise of police powers and visited Massachusetts twice. He was at Pema- quid less than two months before July 15, 1633, when he left the country for England. He boasted, in 1637, that no European had made such extensive discoveries of the "inland parts" as himself.


The declaration of the number of cattle in New England at the time of his comparatively late departure, his knowledge of grants from the council, the intentional omission of the location of that to Hilton with whom he had had a controversy over boundaries, and the admission that his colony was far removed from others and adhered to the Church of England, all comport with Neal's relations.


The term "my selfe and Colonie" was previously used in the third person in Pascataqua patent; there the expression was: "Capt Walt : Neale and ye Colony wth him."


Furthermore, there is other evidence that Cape Porpoise and Casco had been "forsaken" in 1633, although the latter had been occupied continuously after that date by Cleave and Tucker.


That the "Relation" was written near the close of 1635 is ap- parent from internal reference :


1. The Indian Plague, according to Captain Smith, began in 1617 and prevailed for three years. The "Relation" referred to the medial year of 1618, which was seventeen years before 1635. William Wood, writing in 1633, asserted that the epidemic sub- sided "about 14 yeares agoe."


2. The year 1635 marked the fifteenth anniversary of the arrival of the Pilgrims.


3. The nine-year period of progress under governors Endi- cott and Winthrop was reckoned from the founding of Salem in 1626.


4. The mischief done by the Indians "last year" related to the murder of Captain Stone and his companions in Connecti- cut late in 1633, but not reported until the next year.


5. The seizure of Castine by the French occurred about August 1, 1635, and was alluded to in the "Relation" as already accomplished.

besides fishermen, about Pemaquid, and St. Georges and Sheep- scot." That statement was based upon reminiscences of Sylvanus Davis, in 1701, when Davis did not claim such antiquity for the eastern settlements and cited only two cases of early residence -both at Saint George. One of these was to the effect that Richard Foxwell had lived at Saquid Point sixty years before. That planter acquired Salem plantation at Saint George in 1633, while a resident of Dorchester. The other case was that of Philip Swadden who was residing at Quisquamego as early as 1651, but had lived at Kittery and Dover prior to 1640.


In 1665, in their official report upon conditions in eastern Maine, New York commissioners found that the only plantations east of Kennebec River were Sagadahoc, Sheepscot and Pema- quid, of which the greater had "not over 20 houses." That re- port, signed by Samuel Maverick, is entitled to full credence for he had then traded in Maine with his own vessels for forty years.


Six weeks after the issuance of the report the eastern planters submitted to New York. The number of families then in the dis- trict was apportioned as follows: Sagadahoc, eight; Sheepscot, fourteen ; Pemaquid and Winnegance, four ; and Cape Newagen and Monhegan, none.
