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 schoolteacher. He was 40
companied short distance By Ser
geant Hampstead and his faithful serv-
ant, Ansel Wright, who arranged to
have q boat ready for Captain Hale
for his return. September 20.
Nathan Hale had no trouble In pene-
trating the British lines. He went to
New York and over to Brooklyn, care

September 10 he began his return.
He spent the night at farm house

wait for him. The next morning he
went to breakfast at q little wayside

named Chichester. During his meal q
man entered and stared at him. Cap
tain Hale paid little attention. az he
thought he was safe by now.
As soon as the meal was finished he
hurried on to the rendezvous. It was
q misty morning. As Hale approached
the beach he saw q boat pulling In.
Glad almost beyond belief to be rid Of
his dangerous task he hurried down
to meet It. Too late he realized that
instead Of Sergeant Hampstead and
Ansel Wright the boat was filled with
British marines. He turned to run.
but the marines caught him.
what are you doing out 30 early?"
q marine demanded.
isn't It proper for schoolteacher
to get breath Of fresh air?" Hale
asked in reply.

The marines would not believe
Hale's assertions of innocence and be
gan to search him. They looked ev-
erywhere without success. One pulled
on his boots and reached inside. Moth
ing suspicious had been found and
the marines reluctantly were prepar
ing to turn him loose when one Of
them, with an oath, threw the boot he
held at a tree. That tore away the
strip that covered the secret hiding
place and the papers fell out.
Captain Hale was then taken aboard

New York, where General Howe Ques.

New London went wild with excite
ment when the news of the battle Of
Lexington reached there. Bands Of
patriots paraded the streets. Guns
were fired and speeches made. A meet

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

that day has been preserved and it is
worthy to rank with the greatest say

Let US march Immediately and new

Howe Immediately ordered that the
young patriot be hanged the following
day and turned him over to an oficer
named Cunningham, the provost mar
shall.
That night Hale was kept in soil
tary confinement. He begged to be
allowed to write letters to his mother
and Alice Adams, his sweetheart, in
New London. Cunningham furnished
him with paper and ink and then de-
stroyed the letters in front of Hale,
saying:
1.-THE rebels should never know they
had q man who could die with such
| firmness."
Hale asked that a minister or a b.
BILE be sent to him. Both were refused.
The only favor he received was being
allowed to rest in the tent of q young
British oficer while on his way to his
death.
Early on the morning Of September
~, 1776. It was Sunday, Hale was con-
Quoted to the scaffold. Cunningham
cuffed him brutality and said:

Hale had been praying. He con-

to his feet and faced the crowd Of

during the siege Of that city by the
army under General Washington the
twenty-year-old boy was promoted to
be q captain for bravery and EN-
cheney.
When the British evacuated Bos-
ton and sailed for New York a 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 .
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,
