      Également History of Penobscot County, Maine (multiple compilers), Williams, Chase & Co., Cleveland, Ohio, 1882 (3 January), pp. 34-35: Massachusetts Governor Samuel Shuttle and council solemnly passed a resolution on 25 July 1722 that 'the Eastern Indians are traitors and robbers,' and declared war upon them and their confederates as enemies of the king. 1725: Castine the younger was in a small bark, at anchor near Naskeag Point, (viz., the southeast point of Sedgwick), and had with him on board an Indian boy, perhaps his own son, and an English lad, by the name of Samuel Trask, belonging to Salem, whom he had redeemed from the Indians. Though he was thoughtless of evil, the moment the crew of an approaching English sloop were near enough, they fired upon him and obliged him and the boys to quit the bark and flee into the woods for the safety of their lives. The master of the sloop, now changing his conduct and hoisting a white flag, called unto him loudly to return, offered him a safe conduct in writing, and declared he only desired to have a free trade and discourse with him. Yet, shortly after he had ventured to go with the lads on board of the sloop, the master first threw him a bag of biscuit, and then took from him the young captive, exclaiming: "Yoitr bark and all it contains arc in fact lawful prize, and yourself might be made a prisoner; so you may now think yourself favored to go without molestation or further loss." This insult, which was duly felt, was presently aggravated by one of the crew, who, after going with them ashore, suddenly seized the Indian boy and held him fast. Castine, perceiving the clinch to be violent and unprovoked, shot the sailor dead, and escaped with the boy into the woods. The conduct of these mariners was a great reproach to them, and in every respect the height of impolicy; for the Indians were now entertaining thoughts of peace, and Castine, who still possessed great influence among them, had more than once attested his magnanimity by instances of friendship and a forbearing spirit towards the English.
