off the dead and wounded under cover of the fire. Our people found afterwards about 100 packs. My informer rode down to the troops in this part of the line with a message from an officer more to the left, who saw the movement of the enemy, intimating his apprehension that they would be attacked, and they were in immediate readiness. The enemy proposing to cut off and make prisoners as many of our men as possi- ble, pressed hard upon them. We had great numbers in a salt-marsh near the creek, who were fired upon without having more than one killed. The enemy's fire did but little execution, the balls flying gen- erally over the heads of our people. Several of our men having no chance of escaping otherwise, betook themselves to the woods and after- wards came in. When the engagement began our lines were thinly manned, but 4 regiments being called in and others brought over from N. Y., there was a sufficient number before an attack could be made. Our artillerymen behaved heroically. On Wednesday, in a heavy shower of rain, the enemy attacked our lines between Forts Greene and Putnam. Our men were directed (and readily complied) to lie upon the ground, with their bodies over their firelocks, so that the enemy got repulsed. We went over with boats about 7 o'clock. The brigades were ordered to be in readiness with bag and baggage to march, but knew not where or for what ; the 2d did not know where the 1st had gone ; nor the 3d, the 2d. The last marched off at the firing of the 3 o'clock gun on Friday morning. The night was remarkably still, the water smooth as glass, so that all our boats went over safe, though many were but about 3 inches out of water. At sunrise a great fog came up. We left half a dozen large guns. 3 or 4 men were missing, who came off in a batteau. On Friday or Saturday the British vessels came up to the desired place. My informant was on horseback in the lines, and had a spy-glass, and saw most of the proceedings. Gen. Par- sons was surrounded in a swamp and narrowly escaped. Grant said he was slain by our Gen.

822. Mifflin and Grayson rode to the outposts on the west ex- tremity of the lines, near Red Hook, where there was a small bat- tery which had suffered severely from the cannonade of the Roebuck, Aug. 27. While there the fog, which lay heavily over this part of the harbor, was lifted by a shift of wind, and the British fleet, lying at its anchorage off Staten I., and within the Narrows, could be plainly seen. Boats were passing to and from the Admiral's ship. They returned to Washington and urged the withdrawal of the army. Capt Montresor, with a small party, first crossed the crest of our works and found the camp deserted. The advanced parties arrived at the ferry, just as the last boat-load of Americans had passed out of musket range.

823. On the night of the 28th, the British threw up a redoubt on the heights east of Ft. Putnam, from which they opened a fire on the fort ; and

on the 29th they made a show of attacking the lines. A strong column menaced this on land of Geo. Powers. The Americans were here pre- pared to receive them, and orders were issued to reserve their fire till they could see the white of their eyes. A few British officers reconnoi- tered the American lines, when one coming too near, was shot by Wm. Van Cott of Bushwick, who then put up his gun, and said he had done his part. Col. Philip Johnson of Sidney, N. J., fell in the battle of the 27th. He was of Sullivan's division, who says of him, " No officer could be braver in this action."
Gen. Johnson.
824. N. Y., Aug. 29. Wednesday afternoon a great hail and rain storm came on, attended with thunder and lightning ; at which time the ministerial army attacked our lines on L. I., at three different places, with their utmost force ; but the intrepidity of the soldiers of the United States repulsed them ; so that they were obliged immediately to retreat precipitately. The men-of-war at the same time made an attempt to come up to the city, as they did also the day before, but the wind at both times entirely obstructed them. N. E. Chronicle.

825. PROCEEDINGS OF A COUNCIL OF GENERAL OFFICERS.
At a Council of War held on Long Island, August 29th, 1776-
Present, His Excellency Gen. Washington, Maj. Gens. Putnam, Spencer ; Brig. Gens. Mifflin, McDougal, Parsons, Scott, Wadsworth, Fellows.
It was submitted to the consideration of the Council, whether, under all circumstances, it would not be eligible to leave Long Island, and its dependencies, and to remove to New-York. Unanimously agreed in the affirmative, for the following reasons :
Ist. Because our advanced party had met with a defeat, and the wood was lost, where we expected to make a principal stand.
2d. The great loss sustained in the death or captivity of several valu- able officers, and their battalions, or a large portion of them, had occa- sioned great confusion and discouragement among the troops.
3d. The heavy rain which fell two days and nights without inter- mission, had injured the arms, and spoiled a great part of the ammuni- tion ; and the soldiery, being without cover, and obliged to lay in the lines, were worn out, and it was to be feared would not be retained in them by any order.
4th. From the time the enemy moved from Flatbush, several large ships had endeavored to get up, as supposed into the East River, to cut
162
LETTERS RELATING TO THE
off our communications, (by which the whole army would have been destroyed,) but, the wind being N.E., could not effect it.
5th. Upon consulting with persons of knowledge of the harbor, they were of opinion that small ships might come between Long Island and Governor's Island, where there are no obstructions, and which would cut off the communication effectually ; and who were also of opinion the hulks sunk between Governor's Island and the city of New- York were no sufficient security for obstructing that passage.
6th. Though our lines were fortified by some strong redoubts, yet a great part of them were weak, being abattied with brush, and affording no strong cover,-so that there was reason to apprehend they might be forced, which would put our troops in confusion, and, having no retreat, they must have been cut to pieces or made prisoners.
7th. The divided state of the troops, renders our defence very pre- carious, and the duty of defending long and extensive lines in so many different places, without proper conveniences and cover, so very fatigu- ing, that the troops had become dispirited by their incessant duty and watching.
8th. Because the enemy had sent several ships of war into the Sound, to a place called Flushing Bay ; and, from the information re- ceived that a part of their troops was moving across Long Island that way, there was reason to apprehend they meant to pass over land, and form an encampment above Kingsbridge, in order to cut off and prevent all communication between our army and the country beyond them, or to get in our rear.
826. " By ten o'clock the troops began to retire from the lines, so that no chasm was made ; but as one regiment left their station or guard, the remaining troops moved to the right and left, and filled up the vacancies, while Washington took his station at the ferry and super- intended the embarkation. As the dawn approached, those of us who remained in the trenches became very anxious for our safety, at which time there were several regiments still on duty, and a dense fog began to rise, and seemed to settle over both encampments ; so dense was the atmosphere, that a man could not be discerned six yards off. When the sun rose we had orders to leave the lines, but before we reached the ferry the regiment was ordered back again. Col. Chester faced about and returned to the lines, where the regiment tarried till the sun had risen, but the fog remained as dense as ever. Finally a second or- der came, and we joyfully bid those trenches a long adieu. When we reached Brooklyn ferry the boats had not yet returned from their last
163
BATTLE OF LONG ISLAND.
trip, but they soon appeared. I think I saw Gen. Washington on the ferry stairs when I stepped into one of the last boats. I left my horse at the ferry, tied to a post. The troops having all safely reached N. Y., and the fog continuing thick as ever, I got leave to return with a crew of volunteers for my favorite horse. I had got off with him some distance into the river before the enemy appeared in Brooklyn. As soon as they reached the ferry we were saluted merrily from their mus- ketry, and finally by their field-pieces. When the enemy had taken possession of the heights opposite the city of N. Y., they commenced firing from the artillery, and the fleet pretty soon were in motion to take possession of those waters."
Col. Tallmadge, as quoted by Simms.
The guns of Fort Stirling were unspiked and turned on the boats of the retreating Americans. Three persons who left the Island last in a batteau, fell into the enemy's hands. N. E. Chronicle.
Col. Hand's Account of the Retreat.
827. In the evening of the 29th of August, 1776, with several other commanding officers of corps, I received orders to attend Major Gen. Mifflin : when assembled, Gen. Mifflin informed us that in conse- quence of the determination of a board of General officers, the evacua- tion of Long Island, where we then were, was to be attempted that night ; that the Commander-in-chief had honored him with the com- mand of the covering party, and that our corps were to be employed in that service ; he then assigned us our several stations which we were to occupy as soon as it was dark, and pointed out Brooklyn Church as an alarm post, to which the whole were to repair and unitedly op- pose the enemy in case they discovered our movements and made an attack in consequence. My regiment was posted in a redoubt on the left, and in the lines on the right of the great road below Brooklyn Church ; Capt. Henry Miller commanded in the redoubt. Part of a re- giment of the flying camp of the State of New-York, were in the begin- ning of the night posted near me ; they showed so much uneasiness at their station, that I petitioned General Mifflin to suffer them to march off, lest they might communicate the panic with which they were seized to my people ; the General granted my request, and they marched off accordingly. After that nothing remarkable happened at my post till about two o'clock in the morning, when Alexander Scammell, since Ad- jutant General, who that day acted as A. D. C. to the Commander-in- chief, came from the left inquiring for Gen'l Mifflin, who happened to be with me at the time. Scammell told him that the boats were wait-
164
LETTERS RELATING TO THE
ing, and the Commander-in-chief anxious for the arrival of the troops at the ferry. Gen'l Mifflin said he thought he must be mistaken, that he did not imagine the General could mean the troops he immediately commanded. Scammell replied he was not mistaken ; adding that he came from the extreme left, and had ordered all the troops he had met to march ; that in consequence they were then in motion, and that he would go on to give the same orders. Gen. Mifflin then ordered me to call in my advanced pickets and sentinels, to collect and form my re- giment, and to march as soon as possible, and quitted me. Having marched into the great road leading to the church, I fell in with the troops returning from the left of the lines ; having arrived at the church I halted to take up my camp equipage which, in the course of the night, I had carried there by a small party. Gen'l Mifflin came up at the in- stant and asked the reason of the halt? I told him, and he seemed very much displeased, and exclaimed : " Damn your pots and kettles, I wish the devil had them : march on !" I obeyed, but had not gone far before I perceived the front had halted, and hastening to inquire the cause, I met the Commander-in-chief, who perceived me, and said, is not that Col. Hand ? I answered in the affirmative. His Excellency said he was surprised at me in particular ; that he did not expect I would have abandoned my post. I answered that I had not abandoned it-that I had marched by order of my immediate commanding officer ; he said it was impossible. I told him I hoped if I could satisfy him I had the or- ders of Gen'l Mifflin, he would not think me particularly to blame ; lie said he undoubtedly would not. Gen'l Mifflin then coming up, and asking what the matter was, his Excellency said, " Good God ! Gen'l Mifflin, I am afraid you have ruined us by so unseasonably withdraw- ing the troops from the lines." Gen'l Mifflin replied with some warmth, " I did it by your order." His Excellency declared it could not be ; Gen'l Mifflin swore by God, " I did," and asked " did Scammell act as an A. D. C. for the day, or did he not ?" his Excellency acknowledged he did. " Then," said Mifflin, "I had orders through him." The Gen'l replied it was a dreadful mistake, and informed him that matters were in much confusion at the ferry, and unless we could resume our posts before the enemy discovered we had left them, in all probability the most disagreeable consequences would follow. We immediately returned, and had the good fortune to recover our former stations and keep them for some hours longer, without the enemy perceiving what was going forward.

828. British Account of the Lines and Retreat.
The lines could not be taken by assault ; but by approaches. We had no fascines to fill ditches, no axes to cut abatis, and no scaling · ladders to assault so respectable a work. The lines were a mile and a half in extent, including angles, cannon-proof, with a chain of five re- doubts, or rather fortresses with ditches, as had the lines that formed the intervals ; the whole surmounted with a most formidable abatis, finished in every part. A corporal and six men had a difficulty in get- ting through the abatis. They were reconnoitering before daybreak, and at 4 o'clock discovered the lines were evacuated. The pickets marched 25 minutes after. General Robertson heard of the retreat at 7 o'clock, and his brigade was ordered to march at 8, but while marching to the ferry he was ordered toward Hellgate to meet Lee, reported to be land- ing there with an army. We were on the rear of the enemy ; some were killed or taken prisoners in Brooklyn. We saw three or four boats afloat-some boats not off. The debris of their rear guard embarked about 8 or 9 o'clock. The Americans fired grape from their 32 pound- ers in the city and at the ship yards, 850 yards off. Their retreat was secured by forts on Brooklyn heights and floating batteries in the river. No boat could be stationed so as to see the passing at Brooklyn ferry without exposure to the American batteries.

PART III.
SUBMISSION OF KINGS COUNTY.
829. THUS the people of Kings County, after a few had been persuaded or forced into rebellion, were abandoned by their countrymen to all its penalties. Accordingly they lost no time in seeking to make their peace with the King's Com- missioners.
To the RIGHT HONORABLE RICHARD, LORD VISCOUNT HOWE, of the Kingdom of Ireland, and his EXCELLENCY WM. HOWE, Esquire, General of His Majesty's forces in America, the King's Commis- sioners for restoring peace to His Majesty's Colonies in North America.
Your Excellencies by your Declaration bearing date July 14, '76, were pleased to signify that " the King is de- sirous to deliver his American subjects from the calamities of war, and other oppressions which they now undergo ; and to restore the Colonies to his protection and peace ;" and, by a subsequent Declaration, dated Sep. 19, '76, having also been pleased to express your desire " to confer with His Majesty's well-affected subjects, upon the means of restoring the public tranquillity, and establishing a permanent union with every colony as part of the British Empire ;" we there- fore, whose names are hereunto subscribed, freeholders and inhabitants of Kings County, in the Province of New-York, reflecting with the tenderest emotions of gratitude on this in-

stance of His Majesty's paternal goodness, and encouraged by the affectionate manner in which His Majesty's gracious purpose hath been conveyed to us by your Excellencies, who have thereby evinced, that humanity is inseparable from that true magnanimity and those enlarged sentiments which form the most shining characters, beg leave to represent to your Excellencies,
That we bear true allegiance to our rightful sovereign, Geo. the Third, as well as warm affection to his sacred per- son, crown, and dignity ; to testify which, we, and each of us, have voluntarily taken an oath [in the church at Flat- bush] before WM. AXTELL, Esq., one of His Majesty's Council for this Province, in the following words, viz:
I do sincerely promise and swear, that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty, King Geo. the Third, and that I will defend his crown and dignity, against all persons whatsoever. So help me God.
That we esteem the constitutional supremacy of Great Britain over these Colonies and other depending parts of His Majesty's dominions, as essential to the union, security, and welfare of the whole empire; and sincerely lament the in- terruption of that harmony which formerly subsisted between the parent State and these her Colonies. We, therefore, humbly pray that your Excellencies would be pleased to restore this County to His Majesty's protection and peace.
