This is from Edward Wright Haile's book, `Jamestown Narratives,' which translates passages in Capt. John Smith's 1624 journal, `The General History of Virginia, New England and the Summer Isles.'

“The next day we sailed so high as our boat would float, there setting up crosses and graving our names in the trees. Our sentinel saw an arrow fall by him, though we had ranged up and down more than an hour in digging in the earth, looking of stones, herbs and springs, not seeing where a savage could well hide himself. Upon the alarm, by that we had recovered our arms, there was about an hundred nimble Indians skipping from tree to tree, letting fly their arrows so fast as they could... (On the shore) lay a savage as dead, shot in the knee, but taking him up we found he had life; which Mosco (Smith's Indian guide) seeing never dog more furious against a bear than Mosco was to have beat out his brains, so we had him to our boat where our [surgeon], who went with us to cure our captain's hurt of the stingray, so dressed this savage that within an hour he looked somewhat cheerfully and did eat and speak. We demanded why they came in that manner to betray us that came to them in peace and to seek their loves. He answered they heard we were a people come from under the world to take their world from them.”
