		Miantonomoh was imprisoned until September, when the commissioners of the United Colonies, at their meeting in Boston, after debating the question whether it would be lawful to take the life of Miantonomoh, referred his case to an ecclesiastical tribunal, composed of five of the principal ministers of the colonies.
		Miantonomoh had been the firm friend of the whites on Rhode Island, and his sentence was a flagrant offense against the principles of common justice and Christianity.
		Nor is this all; with two hundred of his tribe, Miantonomoh joins the English on their march of forty miles through the wilderness toward the Mystic River; and the brave Niantics and the rebellious Mohegans, led by Uncas, swell the ranks, until five hundred savage "bowmen and spearmen" are in the train of Captain Mason.

		Moreover, the Miantonomoh’s surprising and unique sense of seaworthiness, if not strategic range, was less thought-provoking than the nature of her powers of attack and defence.
		The fact was, months before the arrival of the Miantonomoh, the great turret vs. broadside debate in Britain had led to the compromise experiment of not just one but two new capital ships, armed with turrets yet fully-rigged as cruisers.
		The Miantonomoh was the right ship at the right place at the right time, proving only a more subtle wisdom; that power was in the eye of the beholder.

		This is the hulk of the Civil War-era monitor Miantonomoh, lying at Boston in 1874.
		In this view she has been completely stripped to the bare hull, and is probably being made ready for tow to the shipbreaker's yard.
		Even as Miantonomoh lay at Boston in this view, her "repaired" steel hull was being built at the Roach yard in Chester, PA. She remained under construction at that yard until 1882, when she was transferred to New York Navy Yard for completion, which took until 1891.

		Late in 1888, the delicate negotiation was closed by a treaty between the Connecticut delegates, Miantonomoh for the Narragansetts, and Uncas.
		Uncas had felt himself strong enough to advance a few miles, though he had but half the force of his enemy, for he relied with confidence on the mingling of unscrupulous treachery and headlong courage which had been the Pequot title to the soil from the beginning.
		The battle lasted but a moment; the Narragansetts fled, almost without striking a blow; and Miantonomoh, deserted by his people and over-weighted by an English corselet, was caught, after a long chase, by Uncas and one of his sachems.
