the bush to help the force at Tl. In
the middle and late days of July, they
reported to runners the southward
progress of the British. They were
ahead of Herkimer’s regiment of New
York militia on August 8 when they
discovered the ambush—a misfortune
for which they were In no way re
sponsible. Herkimer and bis force had
gone on without them to relieve Fort
Schuyler. The two scouts had ridden
post to Join him. They were afoot
half a mile or so ahead of the com
mander when Jack heard the call of
the swamp robin. He hurried toward
his friend. Solomon was In a thicket
of tamaracks.
"We got to git back quick," sold the
latter. " I see sign o’ an ambush."
They hurried to their command and
warned the general. He halted and
faced his men about and began a re
treat. Jack and Solomon hurried out
ahead of them some 20 rods apart. In
five minutes Jack heard Solomon's cull
again. Thoroughly alarmed, he ran

the latter had that stern look which
came only In a crisis. Deep furrows
ran across his brow. Ills hands were
shut tight. There was an expression
of anger In his eyes. He swallowed

“It's an ambush sure as hell's ahead.”
he whispered.
As they were hurrying toward the
regiment, he added:
“We got to fight an' ag'ln big odds—

want to die as Scott did. But, mebbe,

In half a moment they met Herkimer.
“Git ready to fight," said Solomon.
“We’re surrounded."
The men were spreed out In a half-
circle end some hurried orders given,
but before they could take a step for

Devils of Brant” were rushing at them
through the timber with yells that
seemed to shake the treetops. The
regiment fired and began to advance.
Some 40 Indians had fallen as they
fired. General Herkimer end others
were wounded by a volley from the
savages.
“Come on, men. Foliar me an' use

The two scouts were angry.
It had been s cold, wet afternoon
and they, with others, were drying
themselves around a big, open fire of
logs In front of the camp post office.
Solomon was quick to answer the
complaint of Burley.
“He's allua been flghtln' a bigger

“Gates Is a real general," Burley
said. “Washington don t amount to

Holomon turned quickly and ad
vanced upon Burley.
" I didn't 'spect to find an enemy o’

In a quiet tone. "Ye got to take that

In this retreat Jack had lost so much
blood that he had to be carried on t
litter. Before night fell they met Gen.
Benedict Arnold and a considerable
force. After a little rest the tireless
Solomon went back Into the bush with
Arnold and two regiments to find the
wounded Herkimer, If possible, and
others who might be In need of relief.
They met a band of refugees coming
In with the body of the general. They
reported that the far bush wss echo-
tng with the shrieks of tortured cap
tives.
'Heats alt what an amount o' suf
ferln' It takes to start a new nation,"
Solomon used to say.
Next day Arnold fought his way to
the fort, and many of St. Leger's
Rangers and their savage allies were
slain or captured or broken Into little
bunds and sent flying fur their lives
Into the northern bush. So the siege
of Fort Schuyler was raised.
