The handful of hardy English "pil grims" who had landed a few month* earlier at Plymouth Kock war# utrug gllng to keep body and mouI together In the bleak Massachusetts climate. Their provision* were scanty, their dwellings rude and Insufficient. Their prosptfiU ot xnalfltttlnlng HXe flea, that desolate, cold coast seemed worse than doubtful. 'Ilud tho bravest, most hopeful ot them all been told that the wretched little colony would grow and flourish until it should one day become the bulwark of American liberty ? he would have laaghed the Idea to scorn. Or, rather ? aa the pilgrim fathers frowned upon such idle Joys a* laugh ter ? he would moro probably have had the rash prophet clapped into the stocks. "Welcome, Englishmen!" The pilgrims' worst fears were of an Indian raid. The enmity of the savages, they knew, would be the fore most barrier In the way of their col ony's prosperity and permanent life. Bo, when, one day, during that first bitter winter, an Indian advanced from the forest toward a group of busy Plymouth settlers, they grasped their muskets lu alarmc Their fear changed to amaBment as the savage halted and called to them In perfect English: "Welcome, Englishmen 1" ' The native. Bamoset by name, had picked up the words from certain Pe nobscot fishermen. He went on to say that he waa a messenger from the great Indian /^fng, Maasaaoit, rulor of the confederacy, of Wampanong tribes, and tl^at be. brought from his royal master assurances of peace aad friendship. A snort time afterward ? March 15, 1621 ? Massasolt himself with 60 "war riors drew near to the colony. The king was ready to greet the white men as friends, but was equally ready. In case of hostile demonstrations on their part, to destroy them. Thus, though he bore food and furs with him, yet he and hie braves were armed and In full warpaint. Edward Wlnslow, a delegate from the pil grims, went forward to meet Massa Bolt. A little behind Wlnslow followed C^pt Miles Standlsh with a handful of musketeers, ready to fire into the clump of Indians at the first sign of treachery. Wlnelow laid presents be fore the royal visitor, then consented to remain behind as hostage for Mau 8asolt's safety while the Bavage king, with 20 of his men, went with Stan dlsh to a hut where Governor Carver of the colony waited to receive him. There a solemn peace treaty be tween Massasolt and the colonists was drawn up and sworn to. This was tho first diplomatic document recorded In New England. Nor did the king ever break his word. He made his sub jects keep peace with the English, and helped them vrlthh generous gifts of oorn and meat indeed, had his atti tude toward the pilgrims been differ ent the colony might well have per ished. As it was, the rigors of climate and hunger were not Aggravated In those early years by fear of Indian In vasion. Massasolt was born in Massachu setts about 1680. He was hereditary king of the Wampanoags and ruled a territory that stretched from Cape Cod to Narragansett Bay. His people had numbered about 30,000. But short* ly before the landing of the pil grims at Plymouth in 1620 a terrible epidemic (supposed to have been yel low fever) swept the land, leaving barely 300 of the 30,000 Indians alive. A colonial writer described Massasolt as "a portly man ki hfs best years, grave of countenanoe and spare of speech." His kindness to the English settlers was due to natural goodness of heart and not to fear. America owes him a heavy debt, a debt which the early New Englanders met by tricking the friendly, unsuspicious king and his people out of thousands of square miles of land. Twice 8aves Colony. In the summer of 1621 an embassy from the pilgrims visited Massasolt near Narragansett Bay. He received them In a soar let hunting coat and a huge gilt chain ? part of the presents Carver had sent him ? and renewed his pledgee of friendship. Again In 1628, when Massasoit lay 111, Wlnslow visited him and tried to cure him by means of such simple remedies as he knew. Out of gratitude the king told Wlnslow of a plot another tribe of In dians had formed to massacre the set* tiers. By this timely waning he again saved the colony. In 1684 when l Roger Williams fled from Puritan per secution In Massachusetts the king received him ss an honored guest and I for weeks gave the great philanthro pist shelter and refuge. Massasolt died In 1-660. And with his death fled the last hope of peaoe between Indians and Massachusetts colonists. Its son. King Philip (whose career has been described In an ear* ller article), became the settlers' dead* ly foe. The bonds of peaoe sealed by Massasoit and the pilgrims were ripped asunder In a series of wan thai ended <foly whan the Indian power In ! New Wngfand was utt^jiy crushed. (Copytltht.)
