From this time forward an attack upon Ticonde- roga was expected, first daily, and then hourly. It was likely to be a desperate struggle, but the Americans were hopeful of the result. In anticipation of it. Gates issued an address to the troops. "As the enemy's attack will most probably be rash and sudden," he wrote, "the Gen- (173) 174 THE CAMPAIGN FOR THE eral earnestly recommends to every commanding officer of a regiment, party, post, or detachment, to be deliber- ate and cool in suffering h...is men to fire, never allowing them to throw away their shot in a random, unsoldier- like manner. One close well-directed fire, at the distance of eight or ten rods, will do more towards defeating the enemy, than all the scattered, random shot, fired in a whole day. The commanding officers of artillery will give proper directions in this respect to all under their command. The good effects of a due observance of this order will, with the favor of Heaven, secure the victory." The troops were ready, and waited impatiently for the attack.
