The Winter Expedition of Major Walderne to the
Eastward.
In following the career of Major Walderne, it will be necessary
to pass over a detailed account of affairs at the Eastward, in which,
however, he bore no small part, being magistrate as well as military
commander of this quarter of the colony. All the Eastern settlements
were broken up, and the people who were neither killed nor
made captive fled to the Westward towns for safety. Desolation
lay over all, from Pemaquid as far as Wells. Capt. Hathorne's
forces availed but little except to keep the Indians from any general
gathering and organized attack. Small parties of the enemy were
scattered along the frontiers, ready to fall upon any exposed settlement.
The alarms, attacks and useless pursuits were many ; till at
last, about the middle of October, the celebrated " Mog," or
" Mugg," came in to Major Walderne and announced himself as
empowered to negotiate peace with the English on behalf of "Madockawando
and Cheberrina, Sachems of Penobscot." Mog came
to Boston under safe conduct from the governor, and between Nov.
6th and 13th a treaty was concluded between the colony and the
Eastward Indians, not including the " Ammoscoggins " and " Pequakets."
During this time Capt. Hathorne, upon information re-
ceived of Mog, marched his troops up to Ossipee, expecting to find
there a large body of Indians and English captives, but found
nothing but the empty fort, which they burnt, and returned to Berwick
on November 9th. Upon the issue of the treaty the Council
sent vessels to the Penobscot with Mog, held as voluntary hostage,
to act as agent and interpreter. Madockawando was found and confirmed
the treaty made with Mog, and delivered the few prisoners
which he held. Mog himself was permitted to go up into the woods
to another plantation to persuade other Indians to join in the treaty,
and to bring in some captives which they held ; but not returning,
they supposed he was either killed or detained as prisoner by the
Indians, as he told them when he left them might be the result.
They waited more than a week, and then came home, arriving at
Boston December 25th, 1676. Nothing more was heard of the
captives at the Eastward or of Mog until January 5 th, when one
