It appears that William Hammond, son of Col. Hammond, who was then but a boy, accompanied Mr. Campbell on horseback to reconnoitre the enemy. Thompson said, "They are only a few Cow Boys." Thompson's out-guard was at Irendahl Allaire's, about half a mile south of Young's -- a Sergeant's guard of eight or ten men, who at first .supposed that they could defend themselves, hut were surrounded and all taken but one who escaped across the fields on snow shoes. Thompson had 80 or 100 snow shoes, and was urged either to put them on his men and move against the enemy, or to fall hack upon the relief guard, or draw his forces within the house ; but he declined to adopt any of these suggestions and drew up his troops in front and on the right of the house towards Hammond's. Capt. Roberts being mortally wounded at the first .fire, and the Americans yielding to superior force, Thompson ordered a retreat, and was moving off northerly when about a quarter of a mile from the house his horse was killed on or near the road leading to the upper Four Corners and he was taken prisoner.
