October 9th Garret Garretson, of Yonkers: Donop's horse was ambuscaded by a party of Americans who got above and below them - the infantry below [some distance from] the cavalry. The noise of the fight resembled a smith hammering a bar of iron - no firing, fought only with their swords. The same night I saw Isaac Martling who was killed by the Refugees. They set fire to Gload Requas house one mile below Tarrytown, but the fire was extinguished.
