That the Hollanders forbade said ship to ascend the river, she having on board a large number of people. But the Indians, who were fond of the Swedes, united together, went on board the ship, and, in defiance of the Hollanders, conducted the ship past Sandhook, or Fort Casimir [present day New Castle, Delaware], without its daring to fire a shot, and conveyed it up to Christina. It was then determined that the ship should be set free, first going to New Amsterdam to take in provisions, and then to make the voyage home to Sweden. The Rev. Mr. Matthias immediately returned to Sweden, where he became pastor in Helsingland. But Anders Bengtson remained in the country, and became the ancestor of an honorable and wealthy family [Who now have the name of Bankson].”
