and Drummondtown another battery was
found in which eight guns we're mounted,
but this, like the other,was entirely deserted.
Eight miles beyond Drummondtown
they found another deserted work.
Up to the time Captain Haley left
there had been nine smooth bore guns Cap
tured, but no ammunition. The only
muskets seen on the whole route, were
about 100 old flint locks.
Col. Smith who had commanded the
earthworks had made his escape and eluded
the most diligent search. A Captain and
two Lieutenants had been captured.
The disbanded militia all contend that
they were forced to take up arms against
their will. MOI single individual
