At one time there was not a ration in camp. Then the strong hand of Washington was felt, and the soldiers saw that their confidence had not been misplaced. He issued his orders, and com pelled the people of the country about to bring their stores of provisions to Valley Forge, that they had been wont to sell to the British at Phila delphia.
8. At one time, when the provisions were all out, and the men nearly starved, a mutiny broke out, several regiments refusing to obey orders until they were ...paid. General Wayne was in the immediate command, and no man in the army save Washington was more respected. But in vain did "Mad Anthony, " as Wayne was called by his men, expostulate and command. In the ardor of his harangue he drew a pistol to menace the mu tineers. In an instant a hundred muskets were leveled at his head, and one of the leaders cried out : " General, we love and respect you, but if you fire you are a dead man. Do not think we are VALLEY FORGE. 145 about to desert ! Should the enemy appear, you will see that we will fight as usual ; but we must have our pay, so that we may not starve, and may have clothes to cover our nakedness.
