Summary

They watched as the Indians gathered the few small children not killed and laid them still tied hand and foot over the horse's withers much like one would carry a sack of flour. The children, nine in all including Alexis had also been gagged to keep them quiet. They were seen laying quietly face down except Alexis. She had twice flipped herself over and off the horse and continued to struggle even though her efforts were useless. Finally Awantanoug himself grabbed the young girl, flung her onto his horse and tied her feet to her hands around the animal's body so that any further struggling was impossible. Jacob kept screaming out to her, "Alexis, Pa and I will track you down! We will rescue you! Stop fighting them before the kill you! Pa and I will rescue you, I promise!"
