the eyes of many, as by a sudden impulse, drops the sympathizing tear.
Colonel Proctor, out of respect to the deceased, ordered the music to
play the tune of Roslin Castle, the soft and moving notes of which,
together with what so forcibly struck the eye, tended greatly to fill
our breasts with pity, and to renew our grief for our worthy departed
friends and brethren." The bodies of the two officers were exhumed a
few weeks after this and re-interred at Wilkesbarre, with military and
masonic honors by the officers of Sullivan's army.

[31] "Monday, June 21, 1779.--This day we marched through the Great
Swamp, and Bear Swamp. The Great Swamp, which is eleven or twelve
miles through, contains what is called on our maps "shades of death,"
by reason of its darkness; both swamps contain trees of amazing
height, viz., hemlock, birch, pine, sugar maple, ash, locust, etc. The
roads in some places are tolerable, but in other places exceeding bad,
by reason of which, and a long though necessary march, three of our
wagons and the carriages of two field pieces were broken down. This
day we proceeded twenty miles and encamped late in the evening at a
spot which the commander named Camp Fatigue. The troops were tired and
hungry. The road through the Swamps is entirely new, being fitted for
the passage of our wagons by Colonels Cortlandt and Spencer at the
instance of the commander-in-chief; the way to Wyoming, being before
only a blind, narrow path. The new road does its projectors great
credit, and must in a future day be of essential service to the
inhabitants of Wyoming and Easton. In the Great Swamp is Locust Hill,
where we discovered evident marks of a destroyed Indian village.
Tobyhanna and Middle creeks empty into the Tunkhanunk; the Tunkhanunk
empties into the head branch of the Lehigh, which at Easton, empties
into the Delaware. The Moosick mountain, through a gap of which we
passed in the Great Swamp, is the dividing ridge which separates the
Delaware from the Susquehanna."--[_Rev. William Rogers' Journal._]
