Still the Monster Cable, In Spite of the Traitor’s Act, Served its Purpose and Blocked the Progress of the British Ships Up the River. Somewhere tn the bed of the Hudson river just off of West foint lies buried the larger part of a great iron ;chain. one of several ordered by General Washington during the Revolution to be constructed. to prevent the enemy from. ascending certain rivers to ac- complish strategic points of vantage. The British were making strenuous efforts to get hold of the Hudson in order to keep free communication with Canada by the additional channels of | the St. Lawrence and’ Lake Champlain. and so it was determined to obstruct) the Hudson by a great chain crossing | from Fort Montgomery to Anthony’s| Nose. But this was a failure. The chain parted within a week after it had been stretched, and. although subsequently raised and again placed. it was de stroyed by the British Finally Washington decided to forge | another and obstruct the river between | West Point and Constitution island, for here there was ap abrupt change of course, and a heavy tide reduced the speed of any ship encountering it Be sides, the channel was 300 feet narrow EEE EEE bb ‘er at this crossing The forging of a chain such as was contemplated was then no small under | taking. Requests were secretly sent; to various iron companies, and among | the bids the most favorable came from the Sterling [ron works. situated in: one of the most beautiful regions of | the east. now within the fashionable | domains of Tuxedo Park i It was originally organized by Lord | Sterling in 1751, a well known otiicer | in the Revolutionary army. and con | tinued in operation for more than a hundred years. meanwhile passing into | the possession of Abel Noble. who} marriedea niece of Peter “Towusend | and who bow in association witb the | latter increased the capacity of the | works which eventually came into the | entire possession of Peter Townsend, a patriot and filled with the spirit of the time He finally obtained a few Welsh min ers from Pennsylvania fur the heavy | handling in the forging and a number of men from Connecticut witb their ox teams to do the hauling, and when | the chain was ready it was drawn over the rough mountainous roads and through forests that had to be pur-| posely cut in many places and so on | to New Windsor, the nearest river | point, and towed to West Point. It was a strenuous undertaking from | the very start Each link weighed 300 pounds. was tyo feet in length and | two and a quarter inches square, and each 100 feet was secured by a swivel, a twisting link. and at every thousand feet there was a clevis The whole! of this weighed 185 tons. When it! was stretched across from West Point | to Constitution island it was buoyed | up by large sixteen foot logs, and | these were in turp held in place by | the anchors. The British made no specific attack on this then invincible obstacle, for it Must be remembered that in those days there was no dynamite nor tor- pedoes, and none of the enemy’s prows: such a barrier. Although the British did not succeed in passing the big Hudson river chain, the American traitor Arnold gave it his particular attention and removed a link of it under the pretense of hav- ing it repaired for weakness at a near- by smithy. He wrote to Major Andre forts were surrendered to the British. But somehow the chain stood for its | not attempt to relieve Burgoyne.
