Maj. Skene the younger, 50 tenants, and 12 negroes were taken
prisoners. The sloop was sent down the lake to Col. Ethan
Allen at Shoreham, Vt. In the cellar of the house was found
the body of the wife of the elder Skene, which had been pre¬
served many years to secure to the husband an annuity devised
to her “while she remained above ground.” The Americans
buried the body in the rear of the house.

t When Ticonderoga was abandoned to Burgoyne, the public
stores were embarked in 200 bateaux and sent up to this point
under the convoy of 5 galleys. They were pursued and over¬
taken, 3 of the galleys were burned, and nearly all of the stores
were destroyed. All the works at “Skenesborovgh” were blown
up or burned, and the Americans retreated in disorder to Fort
Ann. Burgoyne stayed in this plaee 3 weeks, while opening a
road to Fort Ann. The remains of a battery and blockhouse
built about this period, overlooking the lake, are still visible.

² A company, under the name of tho “Northern Inland, Nam
gation Company,” had previously been formed for the purpose of
uniting the waters of Lake Champlain with those of the Hud¬
son. After expending large sums of money, the project was aban¬
doned.
