Paul Revere proceeded to tell his astonished captors more than they knew about their own mission.

He informed them that Colonel Smith's expedition had left Boston by boat across the Back Bay and that their boats had catched aground at Lechmere Point and that the regulars had come ashore in Cambridge.

He also told them what he had been doing that night and warned that he had alarmed the militia at Lexington and their lives would be at risk if they lingered near that town.
