HOUSE," TREASON
HILL, HAVER-
STRAW, N. Y.
In this building Benedict Arnold
met Major John Andre and agreed
to sell his country for British gold
and favor. Andre hid the papers
containing plans of West Point and
the American forces in his boots.
While this meeting was in progress
the Captain of the "Vulture," the
man-of-war which had brought Andre
to Haverstraw, took fright at a ran-
dom shot fired below the Highlands,
and, thinking the plot discovered,
dropped down the river below Tarry-
town, forcing Andre to cross the
Hudson, and proceed by foot to Tar-
rytown, where he was captured.
