Thereupon a wager was made between them, first for a half cask of beer, namely that Swarte Marten had said so; and though the requirer thought that the wager would not be accepted and he would not tap the beer, Claes Bever, nevertheless, wished to have it so. When the beer was nearly finished, they raised the wager, to wit, Harmen Harmensz staked his brew kettle against Claes Bever's canoe with firewood, then laying off the shore at Betlehem, to be delivered the one with the other, in consequence of which the canoe was brought upon the land by Hendrick Andriesz, who was asked to do so by the whole company, and Claes Bever consented that the company should take out five or six pieces of firewood, which they clic, Init he said: " If you take out more, you shall rue it." But as for the requirer, these deponents do not know that he concerned himself therewith. [42] Herewith they conclude their deposi ion. offering to confirm the same under oath if need be, when requested. Thus done and executed in the colony of Renselaer wyck, in the presence of Eldert Gerbrantsz Cruyff and Hendrick Cornelisz Slecht, as witnesses hereto called.

[53-55 blank ; 56] On this day, the 3Ist of January 1661. appeared before me, Dirck van Schelluyne, notary public, and before the afternamed witnesses, Willem Jansz Slyckoten, as hus- band and guardian of Neeltie Fredericxsz, widow of the late Clacs Hendricsz van Schoonhoven (also here present), of the first part, and Adriaen Symonsz in capacity of attorney for Jacob Hecre, of the second part, and declared that they had agreed and contracted with each other in manner following :
1 According to E. M. Ruttenber, Indian Geographic Names, page 161, this island was in the Rondout creek. The Dutch name means: "the little cooper's island," not "Little Cupper's island," as Ruttenber has it and as the name is incorrectly given in an abstract of this deed in Doc. Rel. to Col. Hist. N. Y., 13:192. As the patents to Volckert Jansen and Jan Thomassen for land at the Esopus make no mention of the islands referred to in the present deed, it may be doubted whether these islands were actually in the Esopus.
