In the News (Sun 15 Nov 09)

  
  Andaste Horror
Critics later said the 37-year-old boat was suffering from a lack of maintenance; her davits were so rusted that the life boats could not be lowered, there was no electric power, and she was not equipped with radio even though most vessels had ship-to-shore communications by 1929.
The Andaste was identified by all who know it as a freak vessel.
In addition to being one of Alexander McDougall's strange shaped whalebacks exhibiting a cigar-shaped hull, the boat had degenerated the the role of a sandsucker and carried a self-unloading system on its decks.

 The History of New York State, Book 1, Chapter 2, Part III
One division of this part was the Erie tribe, which claimed the entire southern shore of Lake Erie; another was the Seneca tribe, which took possession of the country from the Genesee river to Canandaigua Lake.
Another tribe, the Conestoga or Andaste, took northern Pennsylvania, especially the region embraced by the two branches of the Susquehanna, including the Chemung River and southward, perhaps as far as Harrisburg.
The Mohawk took the offensive against the Huron and Abenaki, and even against the Micmac in the north, and in turn had to withstand attack by the Conestoga or Andaste of the Susquehanna.

The 2nd lowest down was called "Attaock"-- which corresponds with the Juniata; perhaps the village later known as Juniata, on Duncan's Island.
These Indians were reportedly of the "Andaste tribes", who used the dialects of the "throat-speaking Iroquois." The Iroquois used no lip sounds, they spoke from the throat with an open mouth.
The Andaste tribe in Pennsylvania, which included the "Standing Stone" Indians on the Juniata, were either subdued and/or incorporated into the Iroquois own tribes.

 History of the Chemung Valley
The very first written historical account of the Chemung River Valley dates back to 1615 and was written by a young Frenchman by the name of Stephen Brule.
Brule was an emissary and translator for the French explorer Samuel Champlain and was sent into the region to enlist the aid of the Andaste people (who inhabited the region at the time) in a battle between the French and the Five Nations of the Iroquois.
Though the Five Nations would prevail in the battle and would eventually drive off the Andaste people, Brule's descriptive account of the Andastes, their many villages and the countryside would be invaluable to historians and anthropologists for years to come.
