Andre, who had for months written him letters in a disguised hand under the name of John Anderson, finally met him, one night, at the foot of a mountain about six miles below Stony Point, called the Long Clove. Arnold, with infinite cunning, had devised this meeting, and had tempted the adventurous spirit of Andre, who left a British man-of-war called the “Vulture” in order to hold converse with his fellow-conspirator.About the author:Edgar Fawcett (1847-1904) was an American novelist and poet.
