His small numbers left him no resource but to retreat, especially after the battery was erected on Mount Defiance. Accord- ingly, on the night of the 5th of July, the hapless garrison stole from the fortress. The baggage, the hospital furniture, the sick, and such stores as the haste would allow, were embarked on board above two hundred batteaux and five armed galleys ; and the whole being placed under the charge of a strong detachment, commanded by Colonel Long, was despatched up Wood Creek, i...n the direction of Fort Edward. The main army proceeded on foot, taking the route of Castleton, St. Clair in the van, and Colonel Francis bringing up the rear. It was two o'clock in the morning of the 6th, before St. Clair left the fort. He had ordered the utmost silence to be pre- served, and the lights to be extinguished ; but unfortunately a house accidentally took fire on Mount Independence, and by the glare of the conflagration the flight of the Americans was detected. Instantly the alarm spread in the British camp, and the troops, roused from slumber, began a pursuit.
