Major Pit- cairn, who was so active at Lexington, distinguished him self here. At the taking of the redoubt, he was one of the first to spring upon our breast-work. " The day is ours, * he shouted with a clear, glad voice. He had scarcely closed his lips, ere ahall passed through his body. His son, Captain Pitcairn, a fine young man, caught him in his arms as he fell, and bore him to the boat, where he soon died.
" The enemy complained of the great proportion of val uable officers, who were tha...t day fatally singled out by our marksmen. Ninety were among the slain and wound ed ; some of them the flower of their army and nobility. General Gage himself confessed a total loss of nearly elev en hundred. Among us, those who died upon the field of battle or soon after, amounted to about one hundred and thirty. More than twice that number were wounded. The whole of these, including prisoners, fell short of five hun dred. We were defeated solely by the want of ammu nition, and when we retired were obliged to leave several pieces of artillery behind us.
