BITNKER Hull DAY-JUNE II.


This is Bunker Hill Day. What glori-
Gus memories it recalls, when We revert
to the little band of patriots that went
struggling up the hill, unframed in war
fare but loyal to the core. Think of the
nerve of 'em-only about $500 alarmed,
undiscoplined Yankees, climbing up back
of barriers of earth heaps and piles OF
hay, realizing that on the plain below
was a red-coat army fully 5000 strong,
well-armed, well-drilled and well-trained.
Leading them to the struggle was the
, gallant and dAshing Israel Putnam. In
his shirtsleeves he STROBE up and down
the lines giving words of encouragement
to the right and left and whispering his
famous order:
Don't fire until you see the whites of
their eyes!'
And to this he added: Powder is
scarce, boys, and it must not be wasted.
When you see the whites of their eyes
fire low, take aim at their Wristbands
aim at the handsome coats-pick off the
commanders"
All night of the 18th the Yankees were
employed in throwing up entertainments.
They toiled on faithfully till break of
day revealed their work to the gaze OF
the astonished British. The English
guns were soon trained on the works and
the sleeping city was awakened by the
boom of cannon. They worked on. how
ever, and by noon they were well ind
trenched behind a strong redoubt- The
British meanwhile decided to storm the
American works. General Howe was at
their head and it was about o'clock
in the afternoon when they began the
ascent of the hill. Up they marched in
line of battle with undaunted courage.
Not shot was fired from the top of the
hill. The Americans were coOlly taking
Putnam's advice.
When the British had come within a
few rods a flame Of fire swept along
the American lines and the front rank
of the enemy were cut to pieces An
other volley followed and another, until
the British fell back in disorder. leaving
the hilltop strewn with dead and wound
ed. In fifteen minutes they made an
other dash, only to receive again such
d murderous fire as no army, however,
brave, could have endured.
More than an hour elapsed before they
could rally for the third attack. They
had already lost nearly thousand men
while the Americans had suffered lit
tie. The first volley of the Americans,
at this third charge swept down their
front ranks as before. But as the as
sailants neared the crest of the hill they
noted the slackening of the American
fire and Howe determined to charge
with the bayonet. The Americans were
without bayonets to their muskets and
the fight was now an unequal one, but
with dubbed muskets and stones they
made a valiant stand. Scores Of theme
were cut down until General Prescott, the
commander, seing the folly of the strug-
gle, ordered a retreat and the British
were left in possession of the field.
The victory won at Bunker Hill was
costly one to the British. When the
patriots powder ran out Howe had them
