At an early period in the Revolutionary struggle, and before the war had as yet fairly commenced, some of the tories (of whom there were a few in Windsor) happened one day to come across Elihu Drake, then a young lad about eight years old, and partly in earnest and partly in a joke, endeavored to compel him to say "God save the King." Failing of success, they tried to intimidate him, by threatening him with a ducking in the Little River. But the boy still stoutly refused. Becoming somewhat enraged at the young rebel, they carried their treat into execution, and thrust him under water; but as they pulled him out spluttering and choking, the only exclamation which he uttered was a fervent "God d--n the King," Again and again was the little martyr thrust under, but each time the same "God d--n the King," was all which they could extort from him, and they were obliged to release him, with many hearty curses for his stubbornness.

This little hero was the son of Adjt. Augustine Drake, of Windsor, and afterwards, at the age of twelve, accompanied his father into the war, in the capacity of waiter. ³
