Lantern Signals Sparked Paul Revere’s Night Ride
Warren learned troops would move at once and sent for Revere. Revere hurried to Robert Newman’s house and then to the water, slipping past the British man-of-war Sormerset with muffled oars. Newman lit two lanterns in the North Church tower signaling crossing by boat. Colonel Conant, on the opposite shore, saw the lights and hurried home. Revere met Conant and Richard Ens on the shore, was warned of British officers on the road, and mounted his horse.
