Its an Indian said one of them as

They We're soon satisfied that this was
true and they led him TO Colonel Ganse-
WORT. Lightfoot could not help feeling
great sense of relief when the walls
of the fort were between him and the
enemy. even though he knew that the
garrison was hard pressed.
He delivered his message to Colonel
Gansevoort, who expressed great salts
faction with it. although saddened to
learn of the wound received by General
Herkimer. The colonel was astonished
when Lightfoot told him that he had
left Fort Dayton that same evening and
had come through the woods alone.
AS it happened, the cheering news to
the garrison reached the besieged fort
Just in time. The next day Colonel St
Leger sent messengers to the fort to
assure Colonel Gansevoort that General
Burgoyne had captured Albany which
was not true, and that it would be wise

Colonel Gansevoort continued to hold
out, but the American colonel held
firm. So week followed week ana AT
last thessupply of provisions in the fort
was nearly exhausted. There were no
signs of the relief that had been prom
lsed. The officers and men grew weary
OF waiting. Some of them even began
to whisper that it would be wiser to
surrender and accept the offer of their
lives and property that had been made
to them by Colonel St. Leger in case
they should yield.
But Colonel Gansevoort had no idea
of giving up, and no one dared to
make the proposal openly to him.

he reached the fort, and he knew that
he could not afford to waste time II he
was to reach it before daybreak. As
soon as he felt that it was safe he fell
into the even trot which the Indians
know how to maintain for hours with
out firing.
There was a half moon in the sky
when he reached the passage across
the marsh at the scene of the recent
battle. Here he proceeded with eau
ton. avoiding the battlefield from the
fear that there might be some prowl-
ing Indians there searching for plum
der. Fort Schuyler, he knew, was now
only about eight miles away and still
pressing forward as fast as possible he
was careful to shelter himself in the
deepest shadows and to avoid making
any sound which might attract atten-
ton. 1t was fortunate for him that he
did So for when he was within a mile
of the fort he suddenly met a party of
Indians who were setting out upon
some mission. He had hardly time to
glide into the bushes beside the trail
when they passed WITHIN arms length
of him. He could see the moonlight
shining upon their war paint as they
went by, each one stepping in the
tracks of the man in front of him. fol-
lowing down the trail by which he had
come.
He thought it wise after this meet
ing to leave the trail and make his way
through the woods. He was close to
the fort and now and then he could see
the low burning camp fires through the
trees. Once dog caught scent of him
and began to bark but luckily none of
the Indians was aroused. At last. after
making many circuits 20 avoid the
enemy and often retracing his steps
when he found the way barred by a
lodge or a tent, he reached a point
from which he could see the fort rising
huge and black before him.
The moon was low in the sky and
one side of the fort was in deep
shadow He determined to approach it
from this dark side so that there
would be less risk of Iris being seen,
but he found that to do this he would
have to pass between the British tents
and cross the path of a sentinel who
was pacing backward and forward
along their line. Very gradually, lying
fiat on the ground, he worked his way
forward until he was close to the SEN
tineTs path. There he lay motionless
while the man passed with his gun on
his shoulder and whistling softly to
himself. Then he rose, STOPPING low,
and ran forward until he was between
the sentinel and the fort. Then he
dropped once more to the ground and
continued his creeping, moving when
the sentinefs back was toward him and
lying still when he faced about.
In this manner he gained the shadow
of the fort. There was now danger that
he might be shot by one of the guards
before he could make known who he
was. However, he found an opening in
the wall which was used as sally port
and by Tapping gently on the gate he
managed to attract attention.
who is there?' growled the voice of
the guard.
Il come from General Herkimer,"
Lightfoot replied. Il bring message
from him..
Upon this the guard thrust his head
cautiously over the edge of the wall and
peered down at him.
Are We alone?' he asked.
Yes" Lightfoot replied.
