We end Chapter 6 with Levi Adams having both letters and a knife at Jonathan's neck. Levi Adams told Jonathan to get out of there, but Jonathan’s legs refused to work. Jonathan says, "I... I can't, sir." Jonathan then explains that Bracy Gwinnett to stay with Levi Adams until Levi finishes reading the letter. After Levi finishes reading the letter, he decided to not get off on the wrong foot and gives Jonathan back the other letter. Then Jonathan hurried out the door and started for Austin Roe's tavern. Jonathan decided to go rest for a moment. When he woke up the sun was in the "afternoon sky", which is basically saying that it was already afternoon. Then he jumped up, made sure he had the letter, and ran quickly for the Roe Tavern. When he got to the tavern, Austin Roe was talking to a customer, so Jonathan stopped behind the front door to catch a breath. Austin Roe said, "I've been looking for you all day I hope you have something for me." Jonathan hands in the letter for him and says that it’s an order for some 'stuff'. Then he hurries back towards Caleb Brewster. He slowed down to a trot as he reached Old Field Road. He noticed that it was almost too quiet to him. He started running off away from this emptiness. Ahead of him, he saw British soldiers pulling a cannon. He ducked behind a tree, and wondered where they were going. The only place that he could think of was Brewster's whaleboat! He wanted to warn the captain, but he didn't know how. He kept moving on behind trees and bushes, until he accidentally startled some birds. The captain told on of his privates to go and see what startled the birds in those bushes. Chapter 7 ends with a red-coated soldier looking down on him.
