A local gentleman of Red Sulfur Harbor, highly respected for his integrity and influence, was pleading with General Layton with tears streaming down his face.

Layton's threats were never hollow. When he heard that the locals sent to negotiate surrender claimed, "The garrison within the bastion are also arguing incessantly, begging for a day's respite before giving an answer," he immediately made good on his threat.
