"Liberty or Death."-George Bancroft.
Tile bloody encounter at Lexingtoni
in 1775 fired tie blood of the pat riots
and filled them
wvith burning de

herole deed In de

Ethan Allen to

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

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. In the mean
