Dick and Tom Dare, and Ben Foster, having gotten through the campaign without being wounded, were well pleased with their part in the campaign, and were eager for further adventures. “I like the excitement of battling with the British,” said Tom, as they sat in camp, at evening, and talked of the exciting adventures they had gone through in the past few weeks. “I hope we will soon get started on another series of adventures just as exciting.” “I don’t like fighting for the sake of the excitement of the fight,” said Dick; “but I am always glad to be fighting when it is to be for the benefit and good of the patriot Cause.” “That is the way I look at the matter,” said Ben. “I shall be glad when the war ends, so far as I am concerned.” “And so shall I,” said Dick. “Sure an’ it’s mesilf thot loikes foightin’ as well as the nixt wan,” said Tim Murphy. “But Oi’ll be willin’ to settle down an’ take it aisy whin the war is over.” “Yah, und dot is der vay I loog at id,” said Fritz Schmockenburg. “Well, there will likely be a lot of fighting yet, before the war is ended,” said Tom. “There will be considerable fighting in the next few months, likely,” said Dick. And he was right. The war did not end till more than a year later, when the British were defeated at Yorktown.
