After a while the British gunners trained one of their guns on them and fired it. The shot came so near them that Woods said: "I will shoot them once more and then clear out." He did so, and laid his gurt on his shoulder, and before he turned around another shot from one of the field guns struck the musket on his shoulder, . just ahead of the lock, and cut barrel and lock in two. He brought the breech back home with him when he returned. He had kept on firing until a shot struck just ahead of him and filled his face and hat full of dirt. He then retreated and got behind an apple tree until another shot came through it, and then went to where the other soldiers were with Gen. Arnold in com- mand, who was riding back and forth, swearing at the men. Near David Clarke lay Dan Fenn, firing behind a stone wall. A ball fired by the
