the Boat Was Filled With British Marines
Too Late, He Realized That


the best officers in the regiment He
went with his company to Boston and
during the siege of that city by the
army under General Washington the
twenty-year-old boy was promoted to
be captain for bravery and efii-
cheney.
When the British evacuated Bos-
ton and sailed for New York greater
part of the American army went down
that way. Captain Hale and his regi-
ment were among them. They took
part in all the hardships of that cam
paign.
Late In the summer of 1776, when
the British had driven the American
army from Long Island, General
Washington was particularly anxious
to establish some sort of secret in
formation line into New York. He
tried many plans without success.
Finally he summoned .his officers to a
council and told them to be on the
lookout for some bright, courageous
man who would undertake the dan
gerous task. He spoke, among others.
to Colonel Knowlton Of Knowlton's
Rangers, the regiment to which Cap
tain Hale was attached,
Colonel Knowlton conferred with
his officers. When he put the propo-
sition to them every cheek paled. II
the messenger should be caught they
all knew he would be hanged as q
spy. The word spy is horrible one
to an honorable man. No one volun-
teered to risk death Of shame. For
a few moments there was hush in
the room. Then Captain Hale walked
In and said:
81 will undertake 1t. sir"
Captain Hale had been sick In bed
for some time, and his fellow officers
crowded about him seeking to dis
suade him from his purpose. Among
them Capt. William Hull, classmate
of Hales at Yale, spoke the longest.
But the youthful captain could not be
shaken from his purpose.
Gentlemen" he said. Il owe my
country the accomplishment of an OBJ
ject so important and so much desired
by the commander Of our armies. |

and passing into the enemy's camp.
am fully aware of the consequences OF
discovery and capture in such stu
alton. | wish to be useful, and every
kind of service for the public good
becomes honorable by being neces-
sary."
In such manner did Captain Hale
turn spy. That night he left the camp
at Harlem Heights dressed In the
brown garments and broad brimmed
hat OF a schoolteacher He was ac-
companied short distance by Ser
geant Hampstead and his faithful serv-
ant, Ansei Wright, who arranged to
have boat ready for Captain Hale

Hale asked that a minister or a Bi.

New London went wild with excite
ment when the news of the battle OF
Lexington reached there. Bands OF
patriots paraded the streets. Guns

ing was called at once to determine
what that city should do In the war.
Every man OF prominence spoke and
then the young schoolteacher was
called to the platform. What words
he said that day have been lost to pos
terity, but we do know they must have
been the most stirring of the occasion,
for Immediately after he left the plat
form men began marching forward to
enlist. One sentence of Nathan Hale's
that day has been preserved and It is
worthy to rank with the greatest say
ings OF our nation.
Let us march Immediately and new
er lay down our arms until we have
obtained independence" he said.
That is all the more remarkable
when one remembers that 1t was more
than year later before independence
was talked of in the continental con-
gress and it was two years before the
Declaration OF Independence was
adopted.
