      10 August 1703: About nine or ten o'clock Tuesday morning, the Eastern Indians, (notwithstanding their many and newly repeated protestations of continuing peace with the English,) did yet join with the French, and in a very perfidious and barbarous manner, falling upon the Eastern parts, from Casco to the East end of Wells, committed many grevious outrages and massacres upon the poor people. Killed to the number of 73 - captivated to the number of 95. With much importunity they allured Major March out of Casco fort, pretending to renew the peace and satisfy some rumors that were bruited to the contrary, when under the Queen's colors they set upon him: but God was pleased to deliver him, and the fort also, though they fought against it many days. Only Jabez Garland's garrison, Winter harbor, was taken, after it had been two days manfully defended. This was the first act of hostility or real breaking forth after an interval of 5 years peace.
