The elder brother of Gyles, after three years of captivity, attempted to escape and was retaken. On the heights of Castine, overlooking the waters of Penobscot bay, he was tortured by fire at the stake; his nose and ears were cut off and forced into his mouth, which he was compelled to eat; and then he was burnt as a diversion to enliven the scene of a dance.
