:54:01
Raining, lying there.
:54:10
I remember thinking how
hot it was, wondering...
:54:17
I'm cold.
:54:22
Wondering how long we'd be away,
when it happened.
:54:27
I heard a crack...
:54:28
Daisy, some water.
:54:30
...like a stick breaking
:54:32
and all of a sudden the fellow
next to me stopped talking
:54:35
and fell over on his side.
:54:39
Then I heard a whistle,
shots from everywhere.
:54:45
Somebody shouted
we'd been ambushed.
:54:48
I saw General Herkimer slide
off his horse and grab his knee.
:54:54
Peter Tenyck with his head
blown half off.
:55:00
Oh, darling, this is going to hurt.
:55:04
Somebody told me to lay down
and then I saw them
:55:10
all smeared with paint,
yellow and red,
:55:16
every colour.
:55:20
Oh, darling. I'm sorry.
:55:21
And back of them, Tories
with green coats.
:55:25
I got down behind a log
and aimed at a fellow.
:55:29
He leaped straight up in the air.
:55:31
Don't talk about it.
:55:32
Fell forward on his face.
:55:35
After that, we just kept shooting
as fast as we could load
:55:41
for I don't know how long.
:55:46
Amos, Adam Hartman came over
beside me.
:55:52
His musket was broke,
:55:58
but he had a spear.
He kept grinning.
