The hour had come to end suspense, The raging storms fierce howled without; The Briton through the dark stole hence, Nor left behind a single scout. Water swept o'er the oozy road, And ran from sides of every hill; ' Bear Creek, if it had overflowed, Could not have poured with stronger will. Thunder crashed loud amid the blaze Of armies fighting in the sky; THE BATTLE OF NORTH POINT 27 The Britons struggled through the haze, Ghosts hissed at them in passing by; Where Ross was wounded they crept... slow; A pale-faced horseman forth did ride, Advancing where they'd met the foe. With rapid progress, from the tide. He no salute gave to the train, And soon was lost within the night; Amid the pattering of rain, Forever passed he out of sight. The windows of the farm house glowed, Mocking the vanquished put to rout. As they passed by, their footsteps slowed At sounds within like to a shout; They reached the shore and through the gale Were rowed beside their rocking ship. The tars unreefed the canvas sail.
