  	Serg. Nathan Chapin, and several others from Springfield, were taken prisoners at the battle of Ticonderoga, July 5, 1777. With several other American prisoners he was ordered to go to Crown Point to cut hay. The prisoners were supplied with provisions, a bottle of rum, scythes, etc. and were accompanied by one guard, whom they entertained so generously with rum that they were soon able to leave him asleep, while they, nine in number, guided by Serg. Chapin, with only the moss on trees as compass, finally arrived in Springfield, to the joy of their friends.
