CAPTURED A FLEET ON FOOT.
Remarkable Achievement of Five
Revolutionary Heroes.

Revolutionary Heroes.
When Savannah was invested by the
American army Captain French, with
small body of British regulars and
five small vessels, was stationed TWEEN
ty miles up the river, and the prox-
unity of the American force made him
nervous. Colonel John White of the
Georgia line wanted to capture this de-
tachment, but no soldiers could be
spared by the American general for the
undertaking. Now, the colonel was u
determined and masterful man and re-
solved to make the venture on his own
account He persuaded his three or
derlies and Captain Ethholm to aid
him.
At the fall of night they built great
many fires In the woods near the Brit
ish post, arranged so as to give the i'm
preston OF a hostile camp of large
force. Then the, colonel and his four
friends, Initiating the manner of the
staff, rode with haste in various direc-
lions, giving orders In loud voice.
French became satisfied that large
body of the enemy were upon him. and,
being summoned by Colonel White, he
surrendered his detachment, the crews
of five vessels and 100 stands of arms"
Colonel White pretended that he
must keep back his troops, as Tory out
RACES had Infatuated them and indis-
criminate slaughter might take place
He took the parole of the British cap
tain and soldiers not again to serve,
gave them three guides. his orderlies
to escort them to safe quarters and
hurried them away before daybreak
lest the fury of his pretended soldiers
should fall upon them.-L. T. Sprague
