and the Philipse Manor House, for the purpose of prevent-ing the Americans from bringing their stores from below by water, and from removing those that had been landed at the last two places. On the 24th, General Lee issued orders for the march of the whole corps under his command, to commence at seven o'clock the next morning. A quantity of Continental stores had been deposited at Dobbs Ferry, which could not be removed in consequence of one of the enemy's vessels of war having anchored close in to the landing. She was permitted for one day to lie there undisturbed, but during the night, two heavy field pieces were sent over from Whiteplains. At daybreak on the 25th the American artillerymen opened a fire against her. She weighed anchor and hoisted sail, but could make no way for want of wind, and her crew were at length obligated to put out their boats, and tow her off, a slow operation, in which, although assisted by her comrades, she was exposed to a continual fire. She was hulled, it was said, eleven times, and was glad to find safety in another station. On the same morning General Lee broke up his camp at Milesquare, and moved his whole corps with great caution, along the enemy's front, toward Whiteplains. The following was his order of march. A subaltern's command, twenty-five in number, led the way, followed by a field officer with one hundred and fifty men, as an advanced guard. General Nixon's brigade led the main column, to which the field pieces succeeded. Next to the field pieces came General Lincoln's division, and Colonel Glover closed the march; a captain with a company of men forming the rear guard. The rifles under Colonel Hand formed a right flank column, from which small parties commanded by sergeants were detached still farther to the right, in Indian file, as flankers to the right column.
