HIS ts the story of @ defest that was better than most victoriesp the story of a battle that wee not fought at the place whose Bame it bears. ° . The American colonies had rebelled against Engiand, amd America swarmed with British troops sent to stamp out the revolution, ‘Ten thousand British seized and held Boston. A patriot army besioged them there, “bottling” them on the Boston peninsula. A bundred-foot rise of ground near Charlestown—Bunker Hill by name== overiooked the city. American batteries on such a hill would be da to the British garrison, So Gen. Gage, the English commander, ordered @ body of men to make @ dash from the city by night (on June 18, 1776) $@ seize and fortify the hill. News of this plan reached the Americans, and they decided to forestall it by fortifying Bunker Hill themselves, two nights before the British hed arranged to seize it. On the night of June 16 a small force of patricts marched secretly toward Boston. In the darkness they passed Bunker Hil, and they proceeded to fortify Breed’s Hill (seventy/ive feet high), which was much nearer Boston. + ‘Thus the “Battle of Bunker Hill” was not fought a@ } A Stroke Bunker Hill at all, but at Breed’s “Hill. of Strategy. The Americana built a redoubt eight rods square P we aneaanaaeld on the hill, flanked by breastworks ‘and by a rail tuffed with fresh-cut grass. All night they worked, At Gawn of June 17 they were secn from British warships lying offshore, ea@ the ships opened fire on them. Swept by a ceascless bombardment, they ‘werked under the torrid sun of the year's hottest day. Then, a little before the English Generals, Howe and Pigott, with 8,000 picked veterans, by barge from Boston and landed near the eastern base of il, The Americans, 3,800 in number, prepared to defend their position, them were New Englanders, 75 per cent. of them Massachusetts men, A tittle after 8 P. M. the British opened an artillery fire from land and ees against the hill. Under cover of this fire the redcoats made their first attnalt, At the head of his advancing columns marched Lord Howe—gamb! rounder, hero—dressed in satin and silk, his hair powdered, as if for a ball. (The housetops of Boston and Charlestown were alive with men, women and children.) Halting, firing and advancing, the British up the slope. Not a shot answered them from behind the fortifications, , & defender showed his head above the breastworks, O14 Gen, Israel Putnam, the defenders’ commanding officer, realised soanty wag his men's ammunition, and he had forbidden them to fire they should be able to see the whites of their enemies’ eyes. Straight up breastworks marched the British. Then from Putnam came a sharp word command. And, at that word, 1,600 muskets and rifles spoke. ‘Whole platoons and companies of redcoats fell. The survivors fled hi Ghelter down the hill, Howe cursing them flercely for cowards and beating them with the flat of his sword in a vain effort to check their panic filght— the flight of picked British veterans from untrained Yankee farmers, At the hill foot the redcoats halted, formed thei» broken ranks and, urged on by their officers, mounted the hill once more, only to be driven back helte# skelter a second time by that murderous close-quarters fire.

Howe had them at his mercy. But he was a gallang sportsman and he would not let his troops pursue the helpless farmers. He told his superior officers Ammunition Givee Out. afterward that he had fulfilled hie duty by taking the hill and that more was not te be expected of him. He added, grimly, that two more such “victories” would Grive the British army out of America, The battle of Bunker Hill lasted for two hours. Qut of the 8,000 British less than 1,084 were killed or wounded. The Americans lost, in killed wounded, 460. Thé ill-equipped revolutionists had proved that, man to they were better than the supposedly unoonquerable British regulars. the knowledge gave them heart to continue a etrugsic which up to thet time had seemed hopeless.
