let us get in, and we'll soon find elbow-room ! " II. THE FORTIFICATION OF BREED'S HILL. To get their elbow-room, the British decided to seize and fortify Dorchester Heights and the hills of Charlestown. But when their plans were made known to the Americans, as Gage's plans usually were, the Americans agreed that they themselves should fortify those heights and hills. Putnam had long been urging it. Warren was doubtful. Once, when the two were talk- ing about it together, Warren rose and walked... two or three times across the room.

Nevertheless, if the project be adopted and the strife becomes hard, you must not be surprised to find me in the midst of it. " The night of the i6th of June was appointed for the work of building a fort on Bunker Hill. At nine o'clock that evening a party of twelve hundred men set off from Cambridge for Charles- town.
