returned Andre, pleased at my IN

But, Fortesque, If you would have au-
dience with Howe, 1 advise you to get
on, for he will have few spare mo-
ments between now and day-dawn to-
morrow.
We parted with much bowing, Craig

crowded streets, being kept too busy
avoiding accidents to exchange con-
yersation. Howe's headquarters on
High street were not pretentious, and.
except for single sentinel posted at
the door, were unguarded. l was ad-
mitted without delay. An aide took
my name, and within very few mo-
ments Sir William himself entered
through rear door. attired in field
uniform. He greeted me with much
affabillty, glancing hastily over the
papers handed him. and then into my
face.
These do not greatly change my

my condemnation as a spy, If discov-

was not greatly afraid of being un-
masked by the officers of the garri'

cret sympathizers with our cause, and
not few deserters from the army

There was no special news in New
York, lieutenant?"
"None of particular Importance, ]

line ago."
Yes. 1 understand. You were for

Do you return with me by water?"
Il believe that was left to my own
discretion. l should be glad of day
or two in Philadelphia"
Easily arranged. While I shall
leave the city tomorrow SO as to give
Clinton a fair field, shall remain on
Lord Howe's flagship for some little
time previous to final departure for
New York. You had better mess here
with my staff Mabry," turning to the
aide, "see that Lieutenant Fortesque
has breakfast, and procure him pass
good indefinitely within our lines. You
will pardon my withdrawal, as the Off
GERS of the garrison promise me an
exceedingly busy day. We will meet
again, no doubt"
He clasped my hand warmly. and
withdrew. leaving me alone with the
aide, half-ashamed, confess, Of hav'
ing been compelled to deceive. Yet
the very ease Of it all stimulated en-
deavor, and l conversed lightly with
Mabry over the mess table, and, when
with tho
sary pass, l was keen to start upon
my round Of inspection, utterly for
getful Of having been up and in saddle
all night Mabry could not leave his
duties to accompany me, but cour
teously furnished a fresh horse, and
assigned a private of dragons to
guido me about the city. By ten
o'clock we were off, my only fear be
ing the possible meeting with some ac'
quaintance.
In this, however, was happily dis
appointed, as there were few civilians
on the streets, the throngs Of soldiers
off duty for holiday, with all disci
pine relaxed, being boisterous, and
considerably under the influence OF
liquor. The uniform worn. together
with my dragoon guard, saved me
from trouble, and found the fellow
sufficiently intelligent to be Of value.
1 dare not make notes, and yet recall
clearly even now the stations Of the
troops, together with clear mental
outline Of the main defences of the
city. I made no attempt to pass be-
yond the limits, but, from statements
Of the dragoon, and various officers
with whom l conversed, mapped In
my mind the entire scheme of defense.
l visited number Of these encamp-
ments. finding in each merely small
guard retained for the day, the major
ity Of the troops being off on liberty.
Soon after noon these began to throng
the water front, eager to view the
coming spectacle. l was. myself, in
the Yagers camp. finishing late
lunch, with few officers, when the
announcement came that the water
procession had started.
