fellow had not stayed In England to
fight to the death in his fathers cause.
Instead he had slipped over to Hol-

security. But on hearing Of the kings

disturb their slumbers. And they pray
that Master Cunningham, our provost
marshal. will devise some means TO
keep the poor wretches quiet OF
nights"
So runs an old letter written IN
New York during the darkest days OF
the American Revolution. The Brit
lsh had captured New York and Phila-
delphia. To both cities-but chiefly to
New York-they brought thousands Of
patriot soldiers, captured in battle,
and many non-combatants who had
risked freedom and life to help the
cause Of liberty by money, gifts or by
patriotic speeches.
These unlucky captives were not
treated like prisoners Of war. They
were housed and fed-or, rather,
starved-in way the law nowadays
would not permit for cattle or swine.
And the man in charge Of them was
q BLACKBOARD whose own countrymen
ioathed him, William Cunningham.
Cunningham was the son of Brit
ish dragon and was born in the
regimental barracks at Dublin. In 1774
he came to America and settled In
New York, where he made living for
some time by breaking" colts and by
giving riding lessons. When the Revo-
luton broke out, in ITS, he became
involved in a political row with some
local patriots and was forced to fee
to Boston, there to seek the protection
of tho British army.
His noisy loyalty to King George
III. got him into trouble there and at
tracted the notice of Thomas Gage,
the English general. Gage appointed
him provost marshal to tho royal
army. His chance for revenge" had
come

York and was put In charge Of the
