Hammands, and found a man advising him to warn his men to muster, for the Enemy's ships were coming up the river. The said Col. asked ye deponent whether the report was a matter-of-fact. The deponent told him it was, and desired said Col. to warn his officers immediately-- that the Col. turned to a certain Justice Dean and borrowed his horse and mounted him and set off directly with the deponent without so much as going into his own house first, to warn Capt. Yermilier, and he, the said Col., also desired the aforesaid man to warn all they came across and that they should influence others to do the same ; that the said Col. informed the deponent that he was under the necessity of ordering the people to meet at his house, as he had the amunition there ; that Capt. Requaw was sufficiently warned, being in a field from which he could see the vessels as they came up. That the deponent parted with the said Colonel about two miles from the river, where the road strikes off to Capt. Vermilier's. That the said Col. went toward the said Captain's and the deponent to the River at Tarrytown.
