four of the men were crouchiug low in
the swift, cold water. They kept their
bodies under, exposing only their faces,
and then awaited the issue. Their

hands grew numb and stiff. But they
were not mindful of such little things,
for the yells of the Indians were still
sounding, and they concluded that sew

with determination. "Will you come"

TO follow him. They crawled on, STUN

moment that their presence would he

that their two companions were the
objects of the attacking party. and that
they had been discovered in their hid

You'll boil where you are"
a loud laugh greeted his words, but
Edicll and Getman, well aware that
their only safety lay in surrendering,
grasped the outStretched hands and
were drawn up on the bank. Their own
hands were quickly bound behind them,
and they were led away.
Meanwhile the fire burned on. The
timbers fell about the men crouching
under the wheel. The air was filed
with smoke and flames, but they reso-
lutely held to their positions.
But all things have an end, and even
the horrors of that night passed at
last. When the morning sun first APP

and one OF the defenders fell dead. The
Indians already were making a way
into the mill, and it needed but one
quick glance to convince the guard
that all attempts at resistance would
be vain; then every man turned to seek
safety in flight. But the tories lined
the bank, urging their Indian compan-
ions to enter the mill, and there was
no hope in that direction. Many of the
guard leaped out of the windows for
the river bed below. Hard as were it's
rocks, they were not so hard as the
hearts of the savages, and the desperate
chance was quickly seized. Come on"
called Cox to his companions, as soon
as he saw there was no hope of defend

so dazed he scarcely knew in which di
rection to turn.

y don't believe there is anything to

I'm much of that same opinion my

Then why does old man Ellis want
to keep such a guard in his mill? A
dozen men on duty here, when there's
something going on around New York
and in the south"
The speakers We're two men named
Cox and Skinner, who formed part of
a guard of ~ men at the mill of
Scotchman Ellis, or "Old Man" Ellis,
rs he was Familiarity known. This mill
was built over the Mohawk river,
where its swift current grew swifter
within narrow gorge, and where to-
day the steep rocks that rise along its
sides form the foundation of many
busy factories. But this conversation
we have quoted occurred in the sum
mer of 1850, when there were special
reasons why the patriots wished to
protect Ellis and the property, which
a few years before he had acquired by
patent from Sir William johnson.
Fort Dayton and Fort Herlimer were
both largely dependent upon it for their
supplies, and the few families at Ger
man Flats had no other place to which
they could carry their corn and have it
ground into meal. There was a small
settlement near the mill, but there were
not enough men to protect the property,
and so IL soldiers had been de-
t1iInn from, he tnI 30, 10
duty as a guard every night until the
pressing necessities of the forts and
scattered settlers had been supplied.
The soldiers had been there now for
a week, and, as no signs of an attack
had appeared, they were becoming tired
of the mOnotonous life. The wildness
of the region and the novelty of their
duties at first had been sufficient to
interest them, but now they were eager
% return to the forts, and such words
as these we have quoted were frequent
ly heard.
But at the very time when Cox and
Skinner were complaining to each other
a band of Indians and tories were
moving amongst the hills in the dark
HESS, ana tnSlf destination was Ellis
mill on the Mohawk. Perhaps johnson
had some desire to regain the property
from which he had so easily parted;
and if his band should succeed, there
would certainly be no haggling about
:he price to be paid, for Ellis would be
a prisoner, unless, indeed, he fell in the
defense, which it was we'll known he
would attempt.
The Indians and the no less cruel
tories stealthily made their way
through the darkness. They were ia
miliar with every foot of the ground,
and the dim light of the waning moon
was all they needed. On they moved.
past the few scattered log houses in
which the hardy patriots dwelt. They
had no time and but slight disposition
to trouble them now, for most of the
men were in the army, and as for sup
plies, the country had been pretty well
stripped already. Besides, if the expe-
dition against the mill should be sue
cessful, perhaps -four and meal would
be found in quantities sufficient to last
the maraudcrs for some time. If the
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1897-03-25

patriots could not be subdued in any
other wy, then starvation could be
tried; for few men would remain in the
army if once they heard that their
wives and children were perishing from
hunger, and Ellis mill was the only
source of supply in all the region.
Cox and Skinner had ceased from their
conversation. 1t may have been that
under their false impression of security
they were doing little. The sound
of rushing water becomes monotonous
after time, and as a narrow rim of
the moon was all the light that re-
manned, and even that was obscured by
cloud, it was nothing strange if the
men forgot their duty.
But they were suddenly recalled to it.
With a yell that was prolonged and
thrown back and forth by the rocky
cliffs, the Indians and tories made a
rush for the mill. Every one within
at once knew what it meant, but they
were taken off their guard and were
poorly prepared to receive the attack
ing party, which far outnumbered their
own.
There was quick discharge of guns,
