nor Stuyvesant called upon :v. Jim utorm Monday veninir.
Ilisinh to surrender, how the pro
positi was scornfully rejected, und how
the doughty l'titch warriors, followir. :
their nneleiit rule of always fightlr :
upon a full stomach ale a miglity din
tier In preparing for the fray. Then,
according to this historian, "brimful
of wrath and cabbage," tliey moved for
ward to the attack. Just In-fore r.-ii.-ti-Ing
the fort they paused, lighted tl.rVr
pipes, gave a furious putT n
charged gallantly under the ever "i
the smoke. Aftej- an Homeric strut.-::!,-,
In which Governor Stuyvesant van
quished Governor Itlsinih In sini.1
combat, the fort was carried by n
aault without the loss of a sing!--man
on either side!
Although we cannot accept Irving-
atory unreservedly, the as-ault on Fori
-Christina niHst have ben S"iii.-iliin-of
an opera bouffe affair, unbnie in
the annali of warfare. But the tri
umph of the I'ntch was shrt-IIve.i.
for in 100-1 die English took possession
of all the Dutch colonic In AnoTlcit
and the Hrltish flag supplanted the
Ii!t-h banner over Kort Christina. To
day ro trace of the fort rwimlns, but
nearby stands the little gray stone
churrh. built In lOS. the successor
of the chapel In the fort where the
Swedish colonists worsMied, as a re
minder of the fort where once Dutch
man nnd Swede fought In America.
