The Hampton affair shows bravery amid British defense
Reports from Hampton describe brave officers Captain Nicholas and Captain Lyne leading minute men and militia against four pounders from a schooner and tenders. They held the shore with minimal cover, repulsing the attack as the fleet pressed in, with several killed or wounded and prisoners taken. The defense earns high praise and a prize share for the troops.
