BRENHAM DAILY BANNER.
BRENHAM. WASHINGTON COUNTY, TEXAS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER
BRAVE RYMEICKA DE, NYSE.
Bow t Mew Utrecht Glut Saved the Amer-
ican Army.
Here is a good tr'ory that was
CUficted in 1770, but just disoovered
by the writer who in his researches
among the manuscripts of the Long
Island Historical library and the
New Utrecht library found in the
daily reports of Colonel Jaquu Crop-
Bey reference to the following his-
toric facts:
' It was hard times in the colonies
in August, 1776. Disaster had fol-
lowed the fortunes of the American
armies, and this fact was well known
to the English generals. Orders
had been issued to give a decisive
blow, which it was expected would
annihilate the patriots.
General Washington was called
hurriedly to New York and calls
were issued for recruits from all
parts of the colonies, as >t was ex-
pected a determined battle would bo
fought on the westerly end of Long
Island. For weeks each side was
gathering its cohorts for what
was believed would be the final
struggle. The English, under Lord
IIowo, brought their troops in ves-
Bcls, which were anchored inGravea-
end bay, and the arrival of additions
to the fleet were of almost daily oc-
currence.
■ General Washington was prepar-
ing for meeting the enemy and had
in pursuance of a well arranged
plan erected defenses extending
from Wallubout to Bay Ridge.
During this time four farmers.
Gerrit De Nyse of King's Highway,
Tunis Cropsey, Abram Bennett and
Cornelius Lott of Bay Ridge, owned
a fishing net and boats and had a
SjnflU building or hut on the Van
Brunt farm, just whore Avoca Villw
bow stands, in which they kept
their net? and oars and had beds for'
use when they occasionally staid
over night. They fashed nearly
every day. They wyffl patriots, and
with the arrival of tlio English fleet
saw their opportunjti|» gond for
flahing, but not for long, because
the English fleet needed fish and a
squad (>f marines had soon found
the ownm and they were pressed
into servico to furnish fish for the
Beet. They met at the hut and de-
cided to bo willing workers, but
with the secret intent of making
daily report of what they might see
and hear to the officers in command
of the patriot forces, and thus they
fished, received the British gold,
Sad# themselves friendly to the
jglish and each evening the results
of their observations were given to
BymeickU De Nyso, the youngest
daughter o1 (Jerrit De Nyse, and
ahe carried the flew# the next morn-
ing to Washington's headquarters
That this information was desirable
and important goes without saying
ail«2 the patriot fishermen were in-
rtrusted to pursue their plan and on
the firsf knowledge of a popve on
the part hi the English they were
to get word to General Washington.
The day the fact of a start was
learned fishing had never been bet-
Jtr, and the largest load was taken
to the admiral's ship, and the finest
flsh were for bistable. Every move,
inftji of the fishermen was delayed
to give the time possible to look
and talk, and tfbefl tfee quartet met
at the hut at dusfi it walwljh the
satisfaction of having (Jono • gdw
day's work for the patriotic qaw>.
They gave to Rymeick# full details
of the British plans, and no maiden
ever bore a message of more import
to the world than that carried that
nik^t by Rymeicka De Nyse to Gen-
eral Washington. It gave him the
knowledge that enabled him to m<jet
the attack oi ihe Bfltieb and to re-
treat successfully and thus avoid
the defeat thatsuroljr would have
been the result bad it not been for
the faithful services of Gerrit De
fcfyae, Tunis Cropsey, Abraham Ben-
nett and Cornelius Lott, not forget-
ting Bymeioka De Nyse. The soil
on whftb Stands Avoca Villa should
be a sacred itfflt to all fovers of the
United States of America.
Rymeicka made the acquaintance
of the officer of the guard at Gen-
ial Washington's headquarters,
Lieutenant John Walker of Rhode
Island, to whom sho was married at
the close of the war. Their descend-
ants «pe the Walkers of Providence.

—Carrizo Springe special says:
"The Rio Grande is again out of
its banks, having risen 15 feet in
24 hours. The rains of last week
were general all over the county
and were the heaviest in years.
Farmers are all busy putting in a
fall crop of corn, and if the frost
holds off there is a certainty of a
good late crop. At present grass
is plentiful and cattle are fat,
and the late rains insure grass all
winter.
—The fifty-third district court
convened at Austin Monday with
Judge Morris presiding. There
is a large docket, and in addi-
tion to some two hundred suits
against the railroads for violation
of commission orders, an un-
usually large number of divorce
cases will come up for hearing.

The lilac Gum Negro.
The "blue gum" negro is rare,
but he invariably represents the
most depraved qualities of his race.
He has light bluo gums and short
teeth, and there is a wpll grounded
superstition among tjie negroes that
a bite from such a person is as poi-
sonous as that of a rattlesnake. In a
personal encounter tho "blue gum"
man always bites. It was Jefferson
Davis who one time said that there
was but one thing worse than a
"blue gum nogro," and that was
