BROOKLYX, X. Y:
Dewey house, built in 1765, on which
floor the night of August 15, 1777, slept
many American Patriots, while the
women of the household baked eighty
loaves of bread for their use the follow-
ing day of strife.
All the men folk having left for battle
and an Army Surgeon having appropri-
ated the horse left for her flight, it was
Mrs. Mary Tilden Dewey who proposed,
if necessary, to defend herself against
the Indians, to bombard them with
"Hasty pudding and a quantity of boil-
ing water.”
