Warden raised his head slowly and gazed straight at Lawler, his eyes gleaming challengingly. "Yes," he said: "Simmons finally unearthed enough to take care of Caldwell's cattle.
Halsted was Major Caldwell's miller at the time and took advantage of his position to give his employer's flour to Arnold's army, in which he served as commissary throughout the siege.
Caldwell's departure, another lecturer appeared upon the scene, whose purpose of publicly addressing the people was no sooner made known, than the most violent sensation was excited.

Bullets began to whistle over us and we could see puffs of smoke as the deep bang of a black powder gun punctuated the vicious snapping of the high-power rifles.
