Champe's daring desertion plan to capture Arnold
A lengthy account details John Champe's audacious mission assigned by Washington to seize Arnold, including Major Lee's pursuit, Champe's disguise, routing through Bergen and Hoboken, and his escape aboard a British galley. The narrative covers the perilous route, pursuit by Middleton, and Champe's eventual surrender of the plan as Arnold moved operations, ending with Champe's safe return to New York and later discharge.
