The warrior was captured by the Shawnee in Virginia while on a hunting expedition. Before being captured, he killed 5 Shawnee. The Shawnee stripped him, put a rope around his neck, and prepared to march him back to their town in New York at a running pace. They intended to have the wives of the Shawnee braves that he killed torture him to death. When he arrived outside the town, the Catawba brave pretended to drop from exhaustion. The Shawnee untied his rope and picked him up to carry him into the town. When they lifted him up, he jumped down and ran off. The Shawnee followed him, and he jumped into a river. The Shawnee were firing at him so he swam halfway through the river underwater, then came up for air and swam to the other side. The Shawnee were still shooting at him, so he mooned them before heading off into the woods.

A search party followed, but when the Shawnee made camp for the night they did not post sentries. They didn't think one naked man alone in the woods far from home was much of a threat. Instead of running farther away, the Catawba warrior snuck into their camp, took a knife from a sleeping Shawnee brave and slit the throats of all the sleeping Shawnee. He then traveled back to Virginia, dug up the graves of the five Shawnee which he had previously killed at the time of his capture, and scalped them before returning to his hometown in South Carolina.
