Chapman was not killed until sometime after June's death.

Sometime (I think about the middle of the war) four armed British vessels chased two American privateers from somewhere in the Sound to one of the Horseneck Harbours. The privateers ran for safety into a narrow harbour called the 'Old Chimney' among [page break] 52 962 [PARIS] high rocks. Old Chimney lies between two large rocks, and is not more than large enough to afford shelter to two vessels. The British ships then withdrew and during the night sent to Long Island for assistance. They were joined next morning by two row galleys armed with cannon &c. In the mean time the alarm guns had been fired, and the militia and the Continental troops from Horseneck Meeting House, collected near the shore to protect the privateers. The British first sent the galleys near the shore in such a position as to rake the privateers. Finding that this did not produce the necessary effect the British determined to storm the privateers and their allies. I was a boy and saw the attack. The troops were sheltered by some high rocks behind which they lay in safety. The privateers men took their cannon ashore which were put in position and fired briskly upon the British shipping as they approached. As the British came towards the shore, they (the British) fired the first ball, and [page break] 963 53 [PARIS] then grape &c. which tore up the trees and bushes. The moment they came within musket shot, the militia and troops rose and fired, with wonderful effect. A great many must have been killed &c! The enemy immediately slackened sail, turned about, and withdrew without any further effort on their part, and the privateers conse quently escaped. The British hoisted sail and made for Long Island or New York.
