They are anxiously awaiting a courier who will guide them in reporting on the enemy's movements. Their leader, Dan Cushing, emphasizes the importance of discretion and promptness as they prepare dinner for the incoming scout. When the mysterious courier arrives, he reveals himself as Ira Le Geyt, who has been tasked with a secret mission that includes spying on British forces and communicating vital information back to the Continental Army.
