Stepping outside she finds Ponus, a Pequot Indian, who has been badly injured by a bear. Helping him into the house, she binds up his wounds. The Indian, about to depart, tells Priscilla he will some day repay her kindness. A month later Ponus warns Priscilla that King Phillip has again incited the Pequots in an uprising against the whites. This timely warning permits the settlers to reach the nearby block house, where, after a sharp conflict, the attack of the Indians is repulsed. Written by
