"...one W. Dodge of Salem, riding in Company with another Friend, they happened to meet
with two Indians. The said Dodge, being better horsed than his Friend, made after the
foremost, leaving his Friend to deal with the hindmost; but his [the friend's] Pistol
missed firing; whereupon the Indian taking him by the Leg turn'd him off his Horse, and
getting upon him was about killing him with his Knife, which W. Dodge by chance espied,
and came time enough to rescue his Friend, and dispatch the Indian lying upon him, and yet
overtook the first Indian he was Pursuing, time enough to do his Business also: by that
Means he did three good Offices at once, saved the life of one Friend, and slew two of his
enemies.
