Encouraged by the presence of a | large French fleet under Count | D'Estaing in the Narragansett wa- ters, the Americans had occupied the northern part of the island and 'RHODE ISLAND CELEBRATES 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF FAMOUS BATTLE |and would, 1 am persuaded, have {canvass wings could carry them.” fought action of the wa The French general had previously been in command of the left wing but had hurried to Boston to speed the arrival of French troops. His & iety to participate in the conflict had caused him to cover the 70 miles to Boston in seven hours and the journey back in six and a half. General Washington afterward wrote concerning the battle of Rhode Island, “If that garrison, consisting of nearly 6,000 men, had been captured, as there was, in ap- pearance at least, a 100 to 1 in fa- vor of it, it would have given the tinishing blow to British pretensions of sovereignty over this country; hastened the departure of the troops in New York as fast as their Tn 1824 in Providence, Lafayette said: “I believe that this capture would have produced the same de- were pressing the British encamped about Newport when August gales | wrought havoe with the French | warships and forced their with-| | drawal to Boston for refitting.

Early on the | ymflrnlnx of August 29, 1778, the two {armies came into touch. | The colonists made repeated| |stands and inflicted heavy loss on | the British but continued their slow | withdrawal. At one point the Amer- |fcans under Colonel Wigglesworth, who was commanding the rear guard, had met with such success in repulsing the red coat attack near Quaker Hill that General Sullivan| was forced to dispatch one of his most daring officers, Col. John Trumbull, to order the troops to fall back. As Trumbull approached Wiggles- worth after a hazardous ride through embattled troops, the latter exclaimed, “Don't say a word, Trumbull. T know your errand, but don’t speak; we,will beat them in a moment.” Trumbull, however, pointed out the oblique advance of a strong body of Hesslans to the rear of the American position and Wiggles- worth was reluctantly forced to give | ground. | As the morning wore on two Brit- ish ships of war together with sev- eral small craft, all recently arrived to replace the vessels which had been burned at the approach of the French fleet, joined in the battle. They directed their fire from the western side of the island against the American flank, but were soon silenced by heavy shore batteries. All efforts to cut the Americans off having failed the British rested in the entrenchments they had occu- pied in the morning along Quaker, | Turkey and Anthony Hills and the battle was over at ¢ o'clock with the Americans in control of the field, The following day was Sunday and. both armies buried their dead in anticipation of renewal of the Nghting on -Monday, but about noon a dispatch from General Washing- ton arrived advising that Lord| Howe had left New York with 5.-/ 000 reinforcements and an English | fleet was oft Block Island. Simul-| taneously came news that the French fleet at Boston could not re- | turn as soon as had been expected | and a retreat was unanimously de-| termined upon. The withdrawal across the Tiver- ton river to the mainland has been | regarded as one of the most strat- egic of the war. While a large de- tachment was ostensibly engaged in fortifying the camp and an incessant cannonade was kept up, the colonial forces ferried their heavy baggage and equipment to safety and then at night tents which had been pitched in full view of the enemy Wwere struck and not a man nor the smallest articles were left behind.
