Report on attempts to break up of a nest of vagabond Indians

At the solicitation of Kentucky inhabitants, Harmar reports that he broke up a nest of vagabond Indians, who had infested the river, trying to establish themselves on the Scioto River in order to interrupt the navigation of the Ohio River, and plunder and murder. The endeavors were not successful, as the villains retreated. General Scott fell in with some savages and took four scalps into Limestone. Ensign Hartshorne's convoy of boats was attacked about nine miles north of Limestone, on the Virginia side; several emigrants killed.
