On the 26th of February, a company of insurgents, under command of Captain Bull,2 was surprised and made prisoners in their encampment near the Sus-quehanna. The prisoners were removed to Johnson Hall, from whence Bull and thirteen of his warriors were sent to New York and lodged in jail, and the remainder distributed among the confederates. Another Iroquois party under Brant, burned the Lenape town of Kanestio and six other of their large villages lying on the head waters of the Susquehanna. Seconding the efforts of Johnson, New Jersey and Connecti cut sent out an army of eleven hundred men to attack the Senecas^ while Pennsylvania and Virginia contributed a greater number to subdue the allies in the Ohio valley. The Lenapes fled from their burning villages to the Senecas^ and the latter, fearing the destruction of their own towns, sent, early in April, a deputa tion of four hundred of their chief men to Johnson Hall to sue for peace. The overture was taken advantage of by Johnson to gain important concessions.
