THE INDIANS. 2. Paup-mun-muke, Sachem of Massapee. 3. Sea-qu-uncks, Sachem of Scorton. 1. lyannough, Sachem of Mattakeeset. The Indians of Cape Cod seem to have been of a different race from those that inhabited the other parts of New England. They were peaceable, never engaged in any wars against the English, desired to have schools established, to be instructed in the doctrines of the christian religion, and in the arts of civilized life. Soon after the settlement a large proportion of their number could read, and many could write. They had religious teachers and magistrates, who held courts for the trial of small offences ; but in the more important cases were assisted by Gov. Hinckley and others. Notwithstanding this apparent prosperity, the attempt to civi* lize and christianize the Indians of Cape Cod was an utter failure. As long as they had such zealous men as Bourne, Cotton, Tupper. Treat and Hinckley, to advise them, to instruct them, to watch and guard all their interests, and to protect them against the cupidity of the whites, and that greater enemy of their race, the seller of strong waters, they prospered ; but when those men were dead they relapsed into their savage customs and associated with the vilest among the whites and negroes whose vicious habits they adopted. They soon vanished away, and gave place to a more civilized, and a more enlighted race. To protect the South Sea Indians, as they were called, of whom Popmunnuck was the Sachem, Richard Bourne and other friends of the race, had the plantation of Massapee, a small portion of their territory, set off to them, which was to be an inheritance to them and their posterity. The Indian could not sell, and the white man was forbidden to purchase. Guardians were appointed to watch over and pro- tect them ; benevolent and charitable men provided funds for the support of ministers of the gospel and teachers of the young, and the poor had provision made for them. Notwithstanding all the labors of the benevolent, the care and expense that has been bestowed to preserve, civilize and christianize the race, they have
