May 12,1814 Capt. Pring anchored his fleet near the Providence Island; Gen. Izard at Plattsburgh notified Macomb at Burlington of the approach of the enemy and late that night the latter sent the news to Vergennes and Capt. Thornton with 50 light artillerymen in wagons to man the battery. All night the selectmen of the lake town worked running bullets for the approaching conflict.
