. The works of Washington Irving. n Island to themainland. About a mile and a half south of the fort, a double row of lines extended across the neckfrom Harlem River to the Hudson. Theyfaced south towards New York, were about aquarter of a mile apart, and were defended bybatteries. There were strong advanced posts, abouttwo miles south of the outer line; one on theleft of Harlem, commanded by General Spencer, the other on the right, at what was calledMcGowans Pass, commanded by GeneralPutnam. About a mile and a half beyondthese posts the British lines extended acrossthe island from Horens Hook to the Hudson, being a continuous encampment, two miles inlength, with both flanks covered by shipping.An open plain intervened between the hostilecamps. Washington had established his headquar-ters about a quarter of a mile within the innerline; at a country-seat, the owners of whichwere absent.

Here, said he, I shouldhope the enemy, in case of attack, would meeta defeat, if the generality of our troops wouldbehave with tolerable bravery ; but experience, to my extreme affliction, has convinced methat it is rather to be wished than expected.However, I trust there are many who will actlike men worthy of the blessings of freedom.The late disgraceful scene at Kips Bay waseviden
