Tile bloody encounter at Lexingtoni in 1775 fired tie blood of the pat riots and filled them wvith burning de sire to do some herole deed In de fense of the col n ies. Wordl reached Col. Ethan Allen to raise the Green M o u n t it I n boys 14and if possl ble surprise and take the fortress o f Ticonderoga. Eager for such exploit he rallied 230 of the vallant Inountain boys and on the ninth (ly of May, 1775, succeeded in getting a few boats and tratstIorted 83 ieni across itle lake, and sent tle boats back for the rest of the men. But day now be gail to dawn and Colonel Allen real- I Ized that if the attemipt against the fort were to succeedl he and his daring ex)eition niust act at once. Nothing daunted by the fact that their force was so few, and, making up In patriotic dev;tlion whiat they lacked in numiners, Colonel Allen called for volunteers for the perilous venture. "I do not urge tiny to enter on this enterprise contrary to his will, inas much its it Is i desperite attempt, whch none but the bravest of itten dare undertake," cried Colonel Al len. "You that will undertake volun tairily, poise your firelock." Every man polsed his firelock. Ie iminediately fornied them into Iline and at thelir Iead advanced on the gate of the fortress. The sentry snapped his fuse lit the colonel aind then irentatd to the lparale withiln the garrison. Allen and hiis ten quickly followei and formed in tlit I parade.

Allen was about to run him through with his sword but thought better of It and only slightly wounded himi on the head whereon lie dropped his gun and begged for quarter. This grant ed lie showed Colonel Allen the oTIl .cers' quarters whither the intrepid commander rushed and compelled the conl)Inilander, Captain Delaplace, to come forth and deliver over the en - tire garrison on threat of putting the I entire force to tle sword. f "By what authority?" demanded Captain Delaplace. "In the natne of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress," thun dered Allent, as he ralsed his sword over Deiplace's head.
