Silent had no means of getting into Chatteraugus until Biggs's force at Bridgeton and on the river between there and Chatteraugus could be dislodged and driven out of Looking-Glass Valley, which ran down along the mountain side to the river. He had difficulty in getting all the positions correctly. "Finally he met Mrs. Houghton, who had come out from Chatteraugus prior to its investment.

This distribution was speedily made.
