Honeyman's guards so that the
spy could escape" and make
his way back to the British

Park drives border a dirt
path through the park, known
as Continental lane. This was
the road trod by the ragged
United States soldiers, in the
black of night and through a
snowstorm which changed to
sleet, in order to surprise the
Hessians at Trenton.
The crossing of the Della
ware on Christmas night came
only a few days after Wash
ington had written to a cousin
saying, II fear the game is
nearly up Many of his troops
had become discouraged by
earlier defeats, some had gone
home and those that remained,
about 2,400 men, were poorly
clothed and fed and some had
no shoes.
The battle itself would be
no more than a skirmish as
wars are fought today. Wash
ington's little army captured %
officers and 886 men. The Hes
sian dead were estimated by
Washington at between 20 and
30. United States casualties
were two officers and two pri-
Yates wounded.

first time tourists make a
low-level flight over the
all-year resort of Phoenix

they're likely to wonder
who left the water faucets

The landscape is dotted
with pools of water.
On closer inspection,
they find there's a good
reason for all those dots
of water. They're swimming
pools-more than 10000 Of
them.
That's more than 3 per
cent of all the swimming

enough, on a per capita
basis. to give Phoenix solid

The McKonkey Ferry House,
also known as the johnson
House, is a small fame build
ing now maintained as a mu-
scum by the State. At the time
Of Washington'S crossing it was
the home of William McKonkey,
son of the owner of the ferry.
1t was used as a tavern and
guest house for travellers using
the ferry. The taproom, kitchen
and a bedroom are open to
visitors and are furnished in
Colonial style.
The McKonkey Ferry House
is open from 2 to 5 pm. on
Sundays and from 10 am. to
5 pm. on weekdays except
Mondays.
1t was to this house that
Gen. Washington went after
crossing the Delaware. William
McKonkey urged the general
to get some sleep before begin
ming the march to Trenton
and, according to the records,
the general went to one of the
bedrooms to study maps and
rest for about an hour.
The 369-acre State park in
which the ferry house is To-
Gated has three picnic groves
and recreation areas named for
Gems. Washington, Sullivan
and Green. A water fountain,
across the road from the Nc
Konkey house, is dedicated to
the memory of John Honey
man, the patriot who acted as
a spy for Washington and on
whose report the general made
his decision for the Christmas
night crossing of the river and
the surprise attack on the Hes
sian garrison at Trenton the
following morning.
