Sue drew away a little and turned her head toward the Square as if in search of someone. Oliver noticed the movement and his heart sank again.
Tilghman rode, express haste, to Philadelphia with the first news of the surrender of Cornwallis and his army. Hamilton's description of his part in the conquest that virtually put an end to the war is characteristic. I commanded an attack upon one of the enemy's redoubts; we carried it in an instant and with little loss. You will see the particulars in the Philadelphia papers.
