Powhatan's one dominant desire was to obtain the arms of the colonists, and with these arms drive them from the country. A fortunate circumstance changed the attitude for the present, even of that im- placable enemy. A pistol was stolen from the fort, Digitized by Google THE BIRTH OF THE NATION 249 and an Indian arrested, to be hanged unless the pistol was returned. The prisoner was committed to the ''dungeon." The night was bitterly cold, and Captain Smith pitied the poor savage and sent him a... good supper and charcoal for a fire.
At midnight his brother brought back the pistol, but upon opening the door of the dungeon the prisoner was found, stifled by the fumes of the charcoal, badly burned and apparently dead.
His brother's lamentations touched the Captain's heart and he promised to make him aUve again.
Accordingly, with aqua vitsB and vinegar, he was restored, his bums dressed, and he was sent home after being well rested and refreshed.
The whole country rang with the wonderful news that the Englishman could raise the dead, and henceforth there was, during his administra- tion, no trouble from the Indians.
