Ferris at first thought of going to his mothers at Throgs Neck, but a moments consideration convinced him that this was too hazardous, and he then made his way back on foot to Wright Carpenter's residence at North Castle, in the Kitchen of [page break] whose house which stood opposite the blacksmith's shop near Sam Smiths Tavern, he found Goliah and the mare, like himself, safe but weary.

He was never made prisoner - Wright Carpenter was afterwards taken prisoner, and Delancey threatened to hang him, but being a Lieutenant in the service, he escaped.
