The settlers have now been in their New England colony for eight years. The colony has had its share of both tragedies and triumphs. Just one year after the settlers arrived, a week of non-stop rain resulted in a terrible flood. Eleven people drowned, and many of the buildings in the newly-built village were damaged or destroyed. Fortunately for the settlers, they had always treated the local Algonquian tribe with respect, and after the flood the tribe helped the settlers, providing them with food and helping them rebuild. Two young Algonquian men even marry women from the settlement, taking on Western names. Though the flood was devastating to the settlers when it happened, the plentiful moisture was good for the crops and the next year's harvest was plentiful. The colony started thriving, and four marriages took place between village families over the next few years, and many children have been born. Sadly, not everything in the colony has been happy after the flood. Over the last eight years, all of the elderly members of the village have passed away of natural causes.
