At s o'clock on the night OF

at the foot of the mountain, less
than two miles from the British
fort on Ston point.
Stony point was steep prom

la narrow strip of land, which, in
high tide, was totally submerged,
leaving the stronghold an island OF

look over the ground and about
IL o'clock they returned with the
advice that the time had come to
strike.
Wayne led his men forward, d.
viding his force to attack stimuli
taneosly form opposite directions.
Almost straight up the side of
Stony point Wayne rode his horse.
The garrison slept. The British
sentry saw the dark forms of men
climbing up over the steep wall OF
rock. ITO arms, to arms" he
cried. The drums rolled AND The
muskets rang out.
The startled redcoats poured
out of the fort like ants out of a
hill, but the second division of the
Americans came up and the at
lacking parties met in the center
| of the works. The battle ragged
hot, both sides loading their mus
kets and ring rapidly. But the
British had been startled from
their sleep and overestimated the
number of the Americans. Above
the din the voice of Mad Anthony
could be heard shouting out COM
mands and urging his men on.
A British crept forward with a
discharged musket, and in the
melee struck Wayne a jolt over
the head with the butt end.
Wayne slipped from his saddle
and was about to fall when strong
patriot arms grasped him and ne
clambered back on his mount. A
/ joyous shout arose from the Am,
leans, and inspired by his bravery
they pushed on, overpowered the
garrison and won one of the most
strategic positions of the revolu-
| tionary war.
1t was O'Clock in the morning
when Mad Anthony, by the dim
light of a torch, wrote on scrap
of paper the first news of the
great victory to Gen. Washington:
Dear General: The fort and
garrison, with Col. johnson, are
ours. Our officers and men be-
haved like men DETERMINED
ITO BE FREE.
