The bricks on the outside of the Hammondsâ summer kitchen were blackened, but the inside made an excellent hiding place for Nathan while he worked near Williamsburg. Once he got inside, he lit a candle and read Lydiaâs message twice, impressed by her attention to the necessary details.
Earlier tonight heâd left his cane here and secretly followed two of the British officers back to the Caswell home, hoping to obtain intelligence as he trailed them. He had heard the men talk of what the Caswells would feed them and then about their families back home, but not of their journey to the shipyard. Lydia, however, had been able to obtain the information he needed, and sheâd delivered it well.
The Patriots had managed to sneak most of their supplies out of Richmond and hide it in an abandoned mill near the shipyards. Theyâd stopped building ships for their fledgling navy this winter. No matter how many ships they built, they couldnât compete with the Royal Navy. Instead, they focused on the land battles and contracted with privateers to raid British ships and run loads of supplies for them.
There was no time for delay. The Patriots didnât have enough soldiers nearby to defend the supplies, but Nathan could muster up enough people to transport them. He only had to determine how to move them. And where.
Nathan blew out his candle.
Perhaps they could hide the supplies somewhere on the Hammond plantation until the military arrived.
The British might have discovered where the Patriots had hidden supplies, but he hoped they didnât know that the Continental Army was in the process of marching north from Charles Towne. The Kingâs Men were wreaking havoc on the east side of Virginia, and the Patriots refused to let the British ravage this colony as they had South Carolina.
He leaned back against the hard wall. Lydia had done an amazing service for them.
Seth was a blessed man indeed.
