amid that turmoil Of approaching bat

granted me two days leave. His brief
note reached me at Coryell's Ferry,
and, an hour later, was riding swiftly
across the country to where Lee had
headquarters.
Not once during all those days and
nights had the memory Of Claire left

between us, striving in vain to guess
the riddle. Now l would see and talk

CHAPTER XIV.
FORCING Clinton 10 RattIn.


/ was left behind at Coryeils Ferry,
for the purpose OF fastening forward
any supplementary orders from Wash
ington. when Maxwell, and the Jersey
militiamen, pressed forward in an eff.
fort to retard the march of the enemy.
From the reports of scouts we began
to understand what was occurring.
Before dawn On the eighteenth Of June
the British army began leaving the
city, crossing the Delaware at Glouces-
ter point, and by evening the motley
host, comprising Regulars, Hessiars,
Loyalists, and swarm Of camp fol
lowers, were halted near Haddenheld,
five miles southeast Of Camden.
The moment this knowledge reached
Washington, he acted. In spite of op.
position from some OF his leading on
GERS, his own purpose remained stead

ready been carefully made for ener.
getic pursuit. Our troops fit for serv-
Ice numbered less than FIVE thousand
men, many Of those hastily gathered
militia, some Of whom had never been
under fire, but the warmth and com.
fort Of the summer time, together
with the good news from France, had
inspired all with fresh~courage. What
ever Of dlssenslon existed was only
among the coterie Of general officers,
the men In the ranks being eager for
battle, even though the odds were
strong against us. There was no de.
lay, no hitch in the promptness Of adj
vance. The department Of the Quar-
termaster-General had every plan
worked out in detail, and. within two
days. the entire army had crossed the
river, and pushed forward to within a
few miles OF Trenton. Morgan, with
six hundred men, was hurried forward
to the reinforcement Of Maxwell, and
relieved from my duties at the ferry
was permitted to join his column.

Well, l was tied hand and foot by dis

into the camp Of my regiment, and lay
down on the bare ground, with head

some excitement was given us of

he knew little of value to me. Nor

Of claiming the reward for his capture
