Ambush Attack Leads to Bravery at Fort Schuyler
In July and August, Jack and Solomon Warned Gen Herkimer of an ambush by Brant’s Red Devils and 200 loyalists. In the ensuing battle near Fort Schuyler, Solomon and Jack fought through heavy fire with bayonets, Solomon executing a bold trap to rout many attackers while Jack carried wounds and both aided General Arnold’s relief march. The siege was lifted as Arnold closed in on the fort, and many captives were freed.

Battery Charger Is Easy to Make
In Radio News, George Schuchman describes a home made B battery charger using a small toy transformer and a two filament headlight bulb with one filament burned out. The setup includes a 15 to 20 watt lamp in the battery circuit to limit current and cautions against using a larger lamp to avoid melting the plate wire. The 110 volt lamp should glow dimly when functioning properly.
The Einkassing of Colonel Burley Chapter Ends
Solomon is wounded at Albany and travels with Lincoln’s militia to Ticonderoga. He helps cut British supply lines with John-son’s Rangers and witnesses Burgoyne’s defeat as the rebel forces advance.

Charge Battery With House Lights Method
A method to charge storage batteries from the household AC line is described. By inserting a fuse block, a double pole switch, and a SPDT switch between the line and the battery, current flows to the battery while lights are used, dimming lamps slightly. One 100 watt lamp charges the battery at about one ampere, consuming about eight watts from the line.
