Seven Natives are alleged to have killed pigs; it later is discovered that a colonist had killed them. Kieft sends John Underhill and soldiers to Hempstead in response. Three of the seven are killed and the four remaining Indians are tortured: Kieft orders them into a boat, with two of them being towed by a string around their necks in the water, where they drown. The other two are detained as prisoners at Fort Amsterdam, where they are brutally tortured (Wolfe, 2012).
