DeLancey was out when

we arrived, but returned before we left, and concealed himself in a hog-pen, as the family afterwards told us. In retreating we passed Cortlandt's house and returned through Yonkers village, being guided by John Odell, Abraham Odell, Isaac Odell (who was nicknamed Armand) John McChain, and Wm. N. Dyckman.

Kipp and Totten were the two who pursued Colonel Odell on the ice, one at each side, cutting at him until Totten lost his fore finger and let his sword fall. I saw this wound afterwards at Morrisania.
