On such occasions [marg: + Sometimes written Horrimon.] I got a pass from General Horriman or some other Hessian officer, whose quarters generally were at Morris's house. The pass allowed me to go in the city and purchase the articles which were speci- -fied. Once I lost my pass and went back for another. This provoked general Horrimon who said "What for you lose your pass? Be careful. Suppose you lose this, I give you no more!" After scolding awhile he gave me a new permit

with the most vindictive feelings, and the sight of this horse which they at once recognized, added to their ferocity. Kipp charged instantly, crying to his men -

"Pursue, boys! pursue! Down with them and no quarter!" The Skinners who were now all mounted (?) [See William Barker's account] spurred their horses onward to their utmost speed; but the strong efforts which in moments of extremity men so often make and make successfully were unavailing upon this occasion. All but the leader were overtaken and cut to pieces without mercy. The extraordinary fleetness and power of endurance of Honham's horse, were barely sufficient to save the rider's life - for Captain Kipp at one time came up with him and striking at the flying Skinner, wounded his horse. One of the first Skinners overtaken was a young man, who, after receiving a great many sword cuts, was left upon the ground for dead. He was, however, still alive,

and while the Refugees were in pursuit of Nonham's party, crawled a short space and concealed himself behind the roots roots of a tree which had blown down; but, on their return, Kipp's men discovered the wounded Skinner and literally cut him limb from limb. --
