When AInolds expedition against
Quebec sailed for the Kennebec, In
.1775. it included no finer troops, and
none more picturesque than the yir-
ginian sharpshooters of Daniel Morgan
who was afterward famous as the
friend of Washington and the victor
of COwpens. A pretty tradition Of the
march of the Virginians from the
camp at Cambridge to the rendezvous
lat Newburyport belongs to an old
farmhouse set back a little from the
main road on a shady lane of its own.
In its kitchen that September day a
boy OF was engaged in washing
dishes, half crying with yexation over
his task and the possibility of soldiers
passing without his seeing them. His
mother had been called suddenly away,
and had left him in charge, with an
injunction not to leave the house till
her return.
With the dishpan before him, a blue
tire fastened around him, and one foot
frequently on the rocker of the cradle
drawn up beside him he dutifully but
despairingly clattered china and sang
to his baby sister
A shadow in the doorway made him
look up and he beheld there two lean,
brown, towering flgures-one, that OF

and lifted her to such q breathlaas
