Robert, Tayoga and Willet, in their capacity of scouts and skirmishers, could go about practically as they pleased. Colonel Johnson trusted them absolutely and they talked of striking out into the wilderness on a new expedition to see what lay ahead of the army. Adrian Van Zoon, they learned definitely, had started for New York on the Dirkhoeven, and Robert felt relief.
"You probably see the truth, Jacobus, and it's to our advantage. Perhaps 'tis better that the French throne should decay. But we'll return to affairs closer by. You've had Van Zoon watched?" "My stable boy, Peter, hass not let him out of sight, since he landed from the Dirkhoeven.
Now, I wish I knew this man who is lying hid in the Dirkhoeven. Perhaps it would be better, Jacobus, to instruct Peter to follow the lad, Lennox, and give the alarm if any threat or menace appears." "I think it is the wiser course, Benjamin, and I will even instruct Peter in such manner."
"He also had a short conversation with Colonel Ephraim Williams of the Massachusetts militia." "Williams is a thoroughly honest man," said Mr. Hardy. "His talk with Van Zoon could only have been on legitimate business. We'll dismiss him. What more have you seen, Peter?" "Late in the afternoon he went to his schooner, the Dirkhoeven, which is anchored in the river.
"He has a right to come to Albany. Perhaps he feels the necessity, too, as no doubt he is interested in large contracts for the army." "It iss true, Benjamin, but you und I would rather he had not come. He arrived but this morning on his own sloop, the Dirkhoeven, und I feel that wherever Adrian Van Zoon iss the air becomes noxious, full of poisonous vapors und dangerous to those about him."
