Governor Printz went home in 1642, and appointed his son-in-law, Johan Pappegoia, vice-governor.
1654. The ship Eagle came from Sweden, and brought with her a reinforcement of colonists Johan Claudii Rising,* as commissary and counsellor of the governor; also an engineer, Peter Lindstroem, several officers with some troops, and a clergyman. On their arrival, they stopped at fort Casimir, gave two salutes, and demanded the surrender of the fort, as erected on Swedish ground. As the commandant delayed an answer, Rising landed thirty soldiers, and took it without bloodshed.— An inventory was made of every thing in the fort. Every person was permitted to carry away what he had, whether it belonged to the company, or to individuals. The people had their choice either to remove, or to remain, and be protected in their rights, on taking the oath of allegiance to the crown of Sweden. This happening on Trinity Sunday, the fort was called Fort Trinity. It was afterwards, according to the plan of engineer Xindstroem, almost rebuilt anew much stronger. The vice-governor, Pappegoia, went home, and said Rising obtained the supreme authority, taking the title of Director General over New Sweden.
The Dutch were intent on revenge with the first opportunity. A Swedish ship, called the Golden Shark, coming to reinforce •the colony, and to bring goods, under command of captain and -supercargo Daswick, was obliged by some accident to enter the river Raritan, expecting no narm from the Dutch; but was .made a prisoner notwithstanding his remonstrances.
The 30th August, 1655. The Dutch governor, Peter Stuy-vesant, came with seven larger and smaller vessels, and between .«ix and seven hundred men, from New Amsterdam into Delaware. He first demanded Fort Trinity, (Casimir) and after =some demur from the commandant Sven Schute, got it by capitulation, of which the principal articles were these :—
" The commandant shall have leave to send to Sweden with -first opportunity the cannons belonging to the crown of Sweden, being in all nine.
" He shall march out with twelve men in perfect accoutre-.tnents, as his life-guard, with the colours of the crown ; but the .other soldiers shall only have their side-arms.
" The muskets that belong to the crown shall remain in the •'fort until they are sent for.
" The commandant and officers shall retain their private property, either removing it immediately, or leaving it till further ^opportunity.
" The fort shall be given up with all the cannons, ammunition,
