by the commander. for unconditional

his advisers read it, and turned to
the soldiers.

Mayor. pointing to a clause that called
for the surrender of all f~ortiications

With a how he handed the paper
to the Mayor.

ing when the people Of northern Long
Island and the inhabitants Of the
Borough of The Bronx and Westchester
county sprang from their beds in wild
alarm. Without warning, as II a hur-
ricane had struck with instant con-
centrated force, all their windows had
crashed. Their walls were shaking,
and pictures and plaster falling. The
air itself was shaking like a throbbing
pulse.
1t was like no gunfire that men ever
had imagined. 1t was. no a series of
explosions. 1t was like one explosion,
whose crescent violence would not
dwindle. The people OF far Brooklyn
and the people Of lower Manhattan
heard 1t. To their ears it was as If
all the thunders of a storm riven
heaven had been loosed to roll inces-
sanity.
Men on vantage points along the
Sound that night saw the attacking
lines from end to end plainly as If it
were day. So continuous was their
fire that 1t painted their positions with
broad, unwavering bands OF flame. 1t
needed not the star bombs and rockets
that curved everywhere under the sky
to fall glariDg into the defences. 1t
needed not the magnesium lights that
fioated from ~parachutes dropped by
aeropianes. Tn both sides of the
Sound the night was a red sea

placements Of the defences. like a red
surf from that red sea, beat the unend-
ing fire. Shrapnel that walled like the

mounds and embankments betrayed
nothing of the ruin that the nights
battle had worked within. But against
the Frightening sky there arose a
visible sign of what had been done.
The flag OF the Coalition fioated over
them and greeted the American sun
rise.
Within a few hours after dawn
artillery began to move through Long
Islands b%oulevards toward Brooklyn.
North Of the city the army began
marching through the Borough of TIE
Bronx toward the, Harlem River, Be
fore noon guns were posted along
the Harlem Heights, on University
Heights. at High Bridge. and down
past the mouth OF the Harlem River.
The Long Island Railroad brought
guns to the high ground behind New
town Creek. to the summit OF Eastern
Parkway and to the Prospect Park
slope.
Through He'll Gate into the East
River came a motley fleet Sound AID

This fleet anchored In a long line

the Manhattan shore. All the larger
vessels had guns On their forward and
upper decks. As o o as the craft

ment?" asked the President, after re-
Ceiving their report. Then, gentle
men. there is only one action for this
Government to take He sighed. and
echoed the refrain of all the past days,
There is nothing else hat we can
do"
An hour later the wires to New
York. cleared by orders from the War
Department, carried a despatch to
the commandants at Fort Hamilton
and Fort Wadsworth. 1t ordered them
To surrender.
From his headquarters the enemy
commander ordered attachments to go
down the harbor in boats and occupy
the captured defences. Then he sent
his troops forward into the city.
And now the New Workers, who had
expected that their streets would be
flooded by a great army, were amazed
at the ease and simplicity with which
the city fell into military control. In
stead of brigades entering the city
there e not even regiments. Troops
of cavalry, companies of infantry,
single machine CUR detachments, NOV
ing separately down separated
avenues, with big intervals between
them, were all the force hat entered.
Some boatloads of men and artillery
passed down the river and landed In
Brooklyn. some to occupy the navy
yard and others to reinforce the men
who had come in through Long ISL

had burst inside OF the defence!
Eleven inch shells that hammered into
concrete facing and split 1t apart with
the irresistible agony Of their ex-
plosions! Five inch shell and solid
protectile! Bombs from the air and
every agency that man had yet de-
vised to wreck and destroy!
AS suddenly as 1t had begun the fire
stopped. The night became utterly
still. The rockets ceased curving.
But in all the defences there shone
white glares from searchlights and
magnesium flares, Illuminating rush
ing masses Of men who clambered over
the ruins Of guns and mounds and took
the works. There was lone left to
oppose them.
When the dawn came the watchers
rubbed their eyes. The great defenoes
lay apparently unframed. Their

had swung to the tide the weapons
were pointed at the city.
Then the telephone bell in the City
Hall called the Mayor again. The
corps commander. speaking from tenn
porary quarters in the University Of
New York buildings. announced that
he wished to send commissioners into
the city to treat with the authorities
for the terms Of capitulation. He de-
sired that the Mayor send an escort
