[Ticonderoga] Sunday 13th [October] ...This day a boat arrived express from the fleet: which informed, that our fleet was attacked by British Butchers on fryday 11th which continued the greatest part of the day, that on Saturday 12th our fleet retreated near split rock; where they lay in sight of the enemy; their army being a little in the rear in flat bottom Boats. This morning the fleets engaged the second time; as we heard an almost incessant fire from day break till afternoon. What damage is done on either side, we have as yet not heard.
