tokenGd the fact mat Just then we were NOV
ing at the rate of four or five miles an hour.
Therefore we were now off Nutten's Is
land, but the bulk of the British fleet still
lay below They were fairly close to the
Staten Island shore, however, and there
would be small danger of fouling them, the
tide always setting the fairway well into the
center Of the Narrows But OF danger from
the forces below was not now thinking.
More fear had OF the boats that would put
after us from the vessel we had almost
fouled, for as we passed her and the noises
on her deck faded in the distance, heard
the dull clashing of tumbling oars and the
sharp splash of a boat as it dropped from
the davits into the water. :.

1t was fortunate that | was well at the
side of the companion, else the assault would
have finished me 1t showed the temper Of
my captives, as well as the necessity for pro
lection against another similar attack, for
should it come to our getting off and using
the sails the helmsman would be in sore
danger of being shot as he stood at the
wheel. There were no window openings
III the cabin fore or aft, and, save the door,
no possible weakness in the structure; but
this door exactly faced the helm and was in
danger of being forced or so riddled with
bullets that it would become an outlook for
the two royalists who could thus command
the wheel and adjacent deck.
1t would have been an easy matter to
shoot either or both Of the prisoners and
so put an end to om internal danger, but at
this iuncture | did not like the report Of
firearms, nor had | yet arrived at blood
thirsty mood Moreover, / felt that the
bringing into the patriot lines of brace
of live tories would rebound more to my
credit than tale OF a couple OF carcasses,
which must needs have been thrown over
board at once
With this menace from within, and with
out a danger even greater, my nerves were
keyed to pitch that equaled if not ex-
ceeded their state at the time Scammcl
held me at his pistols point At least an
hour Of uncontrolled and uninterrupted
drifting must clapse before | might draw a
long breath and begin to count on the final
success OF our attempt to escape; and in
that hour there was no knowing what the
Gcsperadoes below might not venture upon
AT all odds, the door must be secured
There was no time to tumble about for TOOLS
so bidding Ames shoot down both tories
should they force the way, | went forward,
and by sheer strength Of arms and back
lifted the main hatch cover clear from its
combings and, carrying the unwieldy mass
of timber aft, set it upon edge against the
companion.
Here, then, was shield Of solid oak
which would resist any pistol shot, and |
had no further concern as 70 the danger Of
being winged from the cabin while steering
the vessel, should fortune get III to sea.
