Y., ii, 70) it is described as being surrounded by "A triple palisade, twenty feet in height and flanked by four bastions." The tribe did not defend their possession, only a few old persons remaining who were too feeble to follow the retreat of the warriors and kindred. The tribe rebuilt the castle on the north side of the Mohawk under the name of _Onondagowa,_ "A Great Hill." The French destroyed it again in 1693, and the tribe returned to the south side of the river and located on the flat at the mouth of the Nowadaga or Fort Plain Creek, where the government built, in 1710, Fort Hendrick for its protection, and where it became known as the Upper or Canajohare Castle. Aschalege, Oschalage, Otsgarege, etc., are record forms of the name given as that of the stream now known as Cobel's Kill, a branch of Schohare Creek in Schohare County. Morgan translated it from _Askwa_ or _Oskwa,_ a scaffolding or platform of any kind, and _ge,_ locative, the combination yielding "At or on a bridge." Bruyas wrote _Otserage,_ "A causeway," a way or road raised above the natural level of the ground, serving as a passage over wet or marshy grounds. Otsgarage is now applied to a noted cavern near the stream in the town of Cobel's Kill. Oneyagine, "called by the Indians _Oneyagine,_ and by the Christians Stone Kill," is the record name of a creek in Schohare County. J. B. N. Hewitt read it from _Onehya_ (_Onne'ja,_ Bruyas), "stone"; _Oneyagine,_ "At the broken stone," from which transferred to the stream. Kanendenra, "a hill called by the Indians Kanendenra, otherwise by the Christians Anthony's Nose"--"to a point on Mohawk River near a hill called by the Indians Kanandenra, and by the Christians Anthony's Nose"--"to a certain hill called Anthony's Nose, whose point comes into the said river"--"Kanendahhere, a hill on the south side of the Mohawk, by the Christians lately called Anthony's Nose"--now known as "The Noses" and applied to a range of hills that rises abruptly from the banks of the Mohawk just below Spraker's. The name is an abstract noun, possessing a specialized sense. The nose is the terminal peak of the Au Sable range. The rock formation is gneiss, covered by heavy masses of calciferous limestone containing garnets. "Anthony's Nose," probably so called from resemblance to Anthony's Nose on the Hudson. Etagragon, now so written, the name of a boundmark on the Mohawk, is of record "_Estaragoha,_ a certain rock." The locative is on the south side of the river about twenty-four miles above Schenectady. (Cal. N. Y. Land Papers, 121.) The name is an equivalent of _Astenra-kowa,_ "A large rock."
