Thelma Age 88 - (4) Photos
This was, without doubt, very right; but a disaster spoiled all thesemeasures, and made it known among the savages that there were inhabitantsthere; which was, in the end, the desolation of almost the whole colony. After the canoes with the savages were gone off, the Spaniards peepedabroad again; and some of them had the curiosity to go to the place wherethey had been, to see what they had been doing. Here, to their greatsurprise, they found three savages left behind, and lying fast asleepupon the ground. It was supposed they had either been so gorged withtheir inhuman feast, that, like beasts, they were fallen asleep, andwould not stir when the others went, or they had wandered into the woods, and did not come back in time to be taken in.
SHE NOW LOOK 48 YEARS OLD
Its pretty remarkable. She literally had the face of someone who was in her 90s but looks incredible now in these photos.

When the two poor frightened men had secured their wives and goods, theysent the other slave they had of the three who came with the women, andwho was at their place by accident, away to the Spaniards with all speed, to give them the alarm, and desire speedy help, and, in the meantime, they took their arms and what ammunition they had, and retreated towardsthe place in the wood where their wives were sent; keeping at a distance, yet so that they might see, if possible, which way the savages took. Theyhad not gone far but that from a rising ground they could see the littlearmy of their enemies come on directly to their habitation, and, in amoment more, could see all their huts and household stuff flaming uptogether, to their great grief and mortification; for this was a greatloss to them, irretrievable, indeed, for some time. They kept theirstation for a while, till they found the savages, like wild beasts, spread themselves all over the place, rummaging every way, and everyplace they could think of, in search of prey; and in particular for thepeople, of whom now it plainly appeared they had intelligence. The two Englishmen seeing this, thinking themselves not secure where theystood, because it was likely some of the wild people might come that way, and they might come too many together, thought it proper to make anotherretreat about half a mile farther; believing, as it afterwards happened, that the further they strolled, the fewer would be together. Their nexthalt was at the entrance into a very thickgrown part of the woods, andwhere an old trunk of a tree stood, which was hollow and very large; andin this tree they both took their standing, resolving to see there whatmight offer. They had not stood there long before two of the savagesappeared running directly that way, as if they had already had noticewhere they stood, and were coming up to attack them; and a little wayfarther they espied three more coming after them, and five more beyondthem, all coming the same way; besides which, they saw seven or eightmore at a distance, running another way; for in a word, they ran everyway, like sportsmen beating for their game.

HERE IS WHAT SHE DOES
The poor men were now in great perplexity whether they should stand andkeep their posture or fly; but after a very short debate with themselves, they considered that if the savages ranged the country thus before helpcame, they might perhaps find their retreat in the woods, and then allwould be lost; so they resolved to stand them there, and if they were toomany to deal with, then they would get up to the top of the tree, fromwhence they doubted not to defend themselves, fire excepted, as long astheir ammunition lasted, though all the savages that were landed, whichwas near fifty, were to attack them.


Having resolved upon this, they next considered whether they should fireat the first two, or wait for the three, and so take the middle party, bywhich the two and the five that followed would be separated; at lengththey resolved to let the first two pass by, unless they should spy themthe tree, and come to attack them. The first two savages confirmed themalso in this resolution, by turning a little from them towards anotherpart of the wood; but the three, and the five after them, came forwarddirectly to the tree, as if they had known the Englishmen were there. Seeing them come so straight towards them, they resolved to take them ina line as they came: and as they resolved to fire but one at a time, perhaps the first shot might hit them all three; for which purpose theman who was to fire put three or four small bullets into his piece; andhaving a fair loophole, as it were, from a broken hole in the tree, hetook a sure aim, without being seen, waiting till they were within aboutthirty yards of the tree, so that he could not miss.


While they were thus waiting, and the savages came on, they plainly sawthat one of the three was the runaway savage that had escaped from them;and they both knew him distinctly, and resolved that, if possible, heshould not escape, though they should both fire; so the other stood readywith his piece, that if he did not drop at the first shot, he should besure to have a second. But the first was too good a marksman to miss hisaim; for as the savages kept near one another, a little behind in a line, he fired, and hit two of them directly; the foremost was killed outright, being shot in the head; the second, which was the runaway Indian, wasshot through the body, and fell, but was not quite dead; and the thirdhad a little scratch in the shoulder, perhaps by the same ball that wentthrough the body of the second; and being dreadfully frightened, thoughnot so much hurt, sat down upon the ground, screaming and yelling in ahideous manner. The five that were behind, more frightened with the noise than sensibleof the danger, stood still at first; for the woods made the sound athousand times bigger than it really was, the echoes rattling from oneside to another, and the fowls rising from all parts, screaming, andevery sort making a different noise, according to their kind; just as itwas when I fired the first gun that perhaps was ever shot off in theisland.


However, all being silent again, and they not knowing what the matterwas, came on unconcerned, till they came to the place where theircompanions lay in a condition miserable enough. Here the poor ignorantcreatures, not sensible that they were within reach of the same mischief, stood all together over the wounded man, talking, and, as may besupposed, inquiring of him how he came to be hurt; and who, it is veryrational to believe, told them that a flash of fire first, andimmediately after that thunder from their gods, had killed those two andwounded him. This, I say, is rational; for nothing is more certain thanthat, as they saw no man near them, so they had never heard a gun in alltheir lives, nor so much as heard of a gun; neither knew they anything ofkilling and wounding at a distance with fire and bullets: if they had, one might reasonably believe they would not have stood so unconcerned toview the fate of their fellows, without some apprehensions of their own.


Our two men, as they confessed to me, were grieved to be obliged to killso many poor creatures, who had no notion of their danger; yet, havingthem all thus in their power, and the first having loaded his pieceagain, resolved to let fly both together among them; and singling out, byagreement, which to aim at, they shot together, and killed, or very muchwounded, four of them; the fifth, frightened even to death, though nothurt, fell with the rest; so that our men, seeing them all fall together, thought they had killed them all.
