"You could not, he would say to his friends on the otf er side, "have succeeded without it." : "The rebels," Gage wrote a week ai ter the battle, "are shown not to be th disorderly rabble too many have sur posed. In all their wars against th ! French they have showed no such coi duct and perseverance as they do nov They do nor see that they have ei changed liberty for tyranny. iN'o pe< pie were ever governed more absohit< ly than trie American provinces no-* are; and no reason can be jriven fo their submission but that it is a tj ranny which they have erected then selves." Bunker HHl exhibited the American to all the world as a people to b courted by allies and counted with b , foes. It was a marvel that so man i armed citizens had been got togethe ; so quickly and still a greater mam i that they had stayed together so lont< Move Forced on British. After the engagement at Lexingto on April 19 the British force unde General Gage was increased to 30,00 men by the arrival of Generals How( Clinton, and Burgovne with their con: mands from England. These occupie the town of P.oston en a peninsula es tending into the harbor. The nava forces consisted of the Falcon, Lively Somerset, Symmetry, Glasgow, an' four floating batteries; Across til /^nr%*.Viw/lrrA nn/1 /V V-liaxiV-'S IlYti'l, il l. <n i'i v?. the surroundinc liills, were encampe< between 10,000 and 20.000 undisci plined Americans.

It was to prevent this that th^ 11 1 Americans determined to fortify Bun- ^ k ker Hill; for, if the British should get e f out of the city and intrench upon Dor t j Chester Heights to the south of Bos- s 8 ton, the Continental position would be 4a made untenable, i i' Prescott's Gallant Act i a Not an unnecessary sound was made" g during the long hours of the eight of*" * June 16, 1775, and when dawn came in- < x trenchments six feet high along the 5 1 side of the hill were disclosed.

Confidently j e they approached the works of the i' a Americans, construing the silence on ( y the hilltop as timidity. They changed their attitude on this point when they a arrived within a few hundred feet of ? I the redoubt. The Americans had been I 1 _ silent, but they had been ordered to j f refrain from firing until the command j i? was <riven. Thus it was the British, . advancing over the open stretch of Q ground, panting from the heat and the , c t weight of their knapsacks, heard the word "Fire!" at the moment of their j j supreme confidence, and recoiled before ! a volley that mowed down many of. j their number. i?

Along the whole line of fortifications, ' from the rail fence to the redoubt, the , < : c British troops were soon in retreat. 7 . The British columns advanced a second time and once more were met with ( deadly fire. Now. however, they were prepared for it; although staggered by the shock, they soon rallied and con- t tinned their advance. The Americans T fired with such rapidity that it seemed as if a continuous * stream of fire poured out from the redouht.
