Once they made the camp ring with cries of " No meat ! No meat ! " and with callings and hootings like those of crows and owls. 2 At other times they would pop their heads out of their huts and call " No bread, no soldier!" 3 On two or three occasions there was almost a mutiny. Early in 1/78 the lack of provisions produced an outbreak which the officers found difficulty in suppressing. 4 It is said that once the soldiers were without bread for a week. " The seventh day they came before their su...perior officers and told their sufferings in as respectful terms as if they had been humble petitioners for special favors ; they added that it would be impossible to continue in camp any longer without support. " Parties had already been sent out to forage, however, and sup- plies arrived in sufficient quantities to keep the army together. 5 Washington tried to calm the men by praising their fortitude, and by telling them that all troops must suffer occasionally, and that on the whole the army had been unusually well supplied with provisions; American soldiers engaged in such a cause should, he said, rise above little accidents.
