The Enemy, retreating on every Occasion as the
Army advanced, were forced from the White Plains,
(where they seemed prepared to make some Stand)
into the North Caffe Difrici, and have faulty retired,
with the greateji Part oj their Forces, behind the
Cotton River, whereby the Communication was open
from York Ijiand with the Continent, by Kingjbridye.
On the 16th Infant the General directed an Attack
to be made on their Lines adjacent to Fort Wafinjon,
a regular Work conftruNed upon the high Grounds above
fe^erfs Hook. It was appointed to be carried on
from the Side of New-York, off Ktngjbridge, and two
separate Embarkations from the Continent, across the
East River. Thirty flat Boats were ordered up to
Kingforidge by the North-River the Night of the 14th,
under the Direction oj Captain Wilkinson (who has
dijiinguifbed bimfelf very much in the different Parts cf
this and the subsequent Operation) aflifled by Capt.
Molloy. The Batteaux, mefly manned jrom Tranfrorta,
were commanded by Lieut. Botham of the Brune, Lieut.
Logqie of the Mercury, and the Agent Lieut. Henry.
The Troops embarked in the Boats, had a considera
ble Fire to fujain from the Enemy, in their Paj'age
across the Eaf River, and at their landing ; but ha
ving surmounted every Obflacle under the farther
Disadvantage of a very sleep Afeent, to gain the Flank
oj the Enemy's Lines, andthe other Attacks fucceedin,
at the fame Time, the Fort was completely invefled in
the Evening. The Rebels, in Number abo*t 2700,
were thereupon induced to surrender Prisoners of War,
and several Pieces of Cannon, with a considerable
Proportion of Military Stores were taken in the Fort,
and Out-Works.
Captain Wilkinson's Preface being deemed mofl ma
terial, with the Flat Boats ; the Pearl was lejt under
the Direction of thefirfl Lieutenant Scott, to be placed
for cohering the Match of the Hessian Troops, and to
flank the Enemy's Lines on the Side of the Noreb-River,
in which Service bis Behaviour was much approved.
The fame Commendation is due to the Officers and
Seamen in the Boats; only one of the lafi was killed,
and five wounded. The Loss of Men, at the Landing,
having happened chiefs amongfi the Troops.
The General judging it necefary to make a second
Movement with the Troops he conduced farther to the
Eafward of Frog's Neck, the Light Infantry, Grena
diers, and other Corps of the sos Embarkation, were
again taken into the fat-bottomed Boats, and landed
the i%th on Fell's Neck, foparated from Frog's Neck
by HutckinfoTs River. The rest of the Army, which
bad oaf that narrow Stream to pajs, were conveyed
over with the Artillery and Baggage a few Flours
after. And the Second Divifan of ike Hessians, that
came under Convey of the Diamond the 19th, were
carried up in the flat Boats, and landed the 23d on
Myer's Neck, the Ptfl of Communication with the Fleet
last efablijhed nearer to New-Rochelle.
This Ptflion of the Army requiring further Provifon
to be made for keeping the Intercourse open by Water
with York Ijiand, the Rose arid Senegal were added to
the Frigates and fmail-armed Fefels before Rationed
in the Sound for that Purpose.
It is incumbent oil me to represent to your Lordfbips
on this Occasion, and I cannot 100 pointedly express, the
nnabating Perseverance and Alacrity with which the
Jeveral Classes of Officers and Seamen of the Skips of
INar and Trarfports have fapported a long Attendance
and unusual Degree oj' Fatigue confrquent of these dif
ferent Movements of the Army. Captain Phipps, and
the Detachment oj Seamen under bis Command, who
were farther appointed to afifi in the Service oj' the
Artillery upon an Emergency, have acquired much
Credit by their spirited ConduN on that Duty.
SIR,
THE General thinking fit to move with a large
Part of the Army to the Right of the Rebel For
ces, who,were preparing l to cfakUjh tkemfelves for
the Winter on the Heightbs above Kingjbridge, as well
as on the North Part of York Ijiand, the Embarkation
of the Troops in the flat Boats and small Neffcls provi
ded, was made from Kep's Bay, tn the Night of the
iitb of las Month, under the Direction of Commodore
Hotbam, with the Captains of the Ships from which
the Beats were manned, as in the former Infiances ;
and the Troops were landed in the Morning on the
Peninsula of Frog's Neck, in the Sound, about Ten
Miles Eafwareffrom New-York, without Oppojition.
A thick Fog prevailing when the Boats entered the
dangerous Passage through Hell-Gate, every ill Conse
quence was to be apprehended; but it fortunately
happened, that no other Injury was fuJiatned beJides
the cverfetting of an Artillery Boat, by which Occi
dent Two Field Pieces and Three Men were lofi.
It l&d been feme Time before refolded, in order to
prevent the Enemy from rec, iving Supplies by the North
River, to fend a Detacher nt of Ships above their
Works at feffery: Hook, on York Ijiand, and the ot
poJite Shore of ferfey, between which they bad been
lately' making freJo Attempts to block the Channel.
Captain Parker in the Pbernix was again ebofen for
this Service, with # he Roebuck and Tartar. The
Wind did not permit the Ships to pass the Enemy's
Works untiltbe gth. By the Accounts I have a jew
Days face received from Captain Parker, I find the
Ships had Offered muck in their Mafiand Rigging ;
the Los oj Men, as in the inclofed Return, was tefs
considerable. Of Four of the Enemies Gallics cbaced
from their Stations behind the Lines ts sunken Frames
and Yeffels placed to obJlruH the P&fege of the River,
Two were taken gone mounting a Thirty-two Founder
with Swivels ; the other Two Nine Pounders and
Two Four Pounders. The two remaining Gabies,
with feme small Teffcls, being favoured by the Tide
and Weather, efcafred the Ships in Skoal Water, where
they had fufficient Protection from tie Shore, which
was in the Enemy's Pofefon.
