Don't you hear the guns in Charles- town?" Capt. Gideon Foster's (l. ) company was station- ed at Brighton then called Little Cambridge. He was ordered by Gen. Ward, to escort a load of ammunition to Charlestown. Capt. Foster obeyed and met the Americans when on their retreat. Their powder was consumed, and he supplied them with ammunition loose in casks, for one more grapple with death. Capt. Foster in his old age revived the reminiscence thus : "We took the ammunition in casks, and conveyed i...t in wagons, and delivered it freely with our hands and our di^jpers, to their horns, their pocJcets their hats, and whatever else they had that would hold it. I well remember the black- ened appearance of those busy in this work, — not unlike those engaged in the delivery of coal on a hot summer's HISTORY OF DANVERS. 93 day. At the same time we were thus occupied, the en- emy's shot were constantly whistling by ; but we had no time to examine their character or dimensions. I have often thought what might have been our condition, had one of these hot shot unceremoniously come in contact with our wagons.
